MEDITERRANEAN SAUSAGE 'N' VEG BAKE

This one's another super easy dish, both to prepare and cook, and sooo delicious. Also, depending on the kind of veg and sausages you decide to use, this is the perfect meal for all seasons.
As it's summer at the moment (I know, how good has the weather been lately?) and pretty hot we decided to go for a lemon and thyme sausage and lots of summery, seasonal veg. This dish is right up my street as you only have to put everything into a baking tray and let it do its thing while you get on with life.
Instead of baking the whole thing in the oven you can also take all your ingredients to a barbecue. Cook the veg and marinade in tin foil over the fire and barbecue your sausages as you usually would.

  3. Now place all the vegetables in a baking tray and top with the sausages. Drizzle with a little olive oil.

That's it! - Easy! Didn't I say so? 
Best with a green salad and ice cold lager on the side.

Enjoy!
