Roast pumpkin, sausages, potatoes and sage with kale (Serves 4)
This dish is pretty much Halloween and bonfire night on a plate; it’s also incredibly warming, so perfect for when you get in from the fireworks on Saturday night. It’s also an ideal way to use up that pumpkin!
Ingredients
- 1 medium (1kg) culinary pumpkin (£1)
- 1kg of charlotte potatoes (£1.40)
- 2 large red onions (40p)
- 200g of curly leaf kale (97p)
- 25g of fresh sage (68p)
- 8 Cumberland pork sausages (£1.34)
The cupboard staples…
Salt, black pepper, olive oil, butter and 2 cloves of garlic.
Total cost
If you already have the cupboard staples, then according to mysupermarket.co.uk, this trolley was cheapest at Tesco where it came to £5.79 - that's £1.45 per head!
Instructions
- Start by pre-heating the oven to 200C (Gas Mark 6 OR 400F).
- Grab a large roasting tray (you don’t want all the ingredients squashed together, give them some space!).
- Roughly slice the onions and sage and place in the tray along with the sausages and 750g of potatoes (leave them whole). Now take the pumpkin and cut into wedges which are about the same thickness of the potatoes so it all cooks evenly. Place the pumpkin wedges in the roasting tray with the rest of the ingredients, season very well and add a really generous few glugs of olive oil. Mix to make sure everything is coated with oil and place in the oven for 50 minutes. Check after 40 minutes. The pumpkin will be browned, and nice and soft when ready to eat.
- Now for the kale. Finely chop the garlic, get a wok on a high heat and add a little drizzle of olive oil and one tablespoon of butter to the wok. Put the garlic in the wok and cook for 30 seconds. Then add the kale along with two tablespoons of water, some seasoning and turn down to a medium heat and cook for a further 5 minutes until the kale becomes tender.
- Happy eating!
