Nigella’s spicy sausages with halloumi and peppers

 ss.jpg

Nigella made this recipe look so easy, It looks perfect for a  Saturday Evening girly night, when my best friend comes round, think it would be great with a big glass of rose wine :)   

If you slice them thinly enough, you can use fresh bell peppers here. Merguez is  Nigellla’s spicy sausage of choice, but chorizo has a longer fridge life if that’s a consideration.

Ingredients
8 merguez or other spicy sausages, such as chorizo (weighing about 340g/12oz in total)
1 x 250g/8oz block halloumi cheese
1 x 220g/8oz jar flame-roasted peppers, drained ( i think I have seen these quite cheap in lidl)  
1 tbsp garlic-flavoured oil
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.
2. Place the sausages into a low-sided roasting tin (this makes the cooking time shorter).
3. Cut the halloumi into 0.5cm/¼in slices and lay them on and around the sausages in the tin.
4. Cut the peppers into chunks and strew them around the sausages and cheese. Drizzle over the garlic-flavoured oil.
5. Transfer the tin to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the sausages and cheese are golden-brown. 

I am going to serve this with Italian ciabatta bread, fresh out of the oven, I just gotta find a place that stocks halloumi cheese?? hhmmmmmm

  4. Sounds like a very delicious recipe. I love halloumi and I love spicy sausages. I think both go well together, so I will give this recipe a try.
