Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 x 400g packs Waitrose English Pork and Fresh Leek Sausages
- 8 small shallots
- 200g pack Waitrose Smoked Danish Lardons
- ½ x 400g pack celery hearts, cut into chunks
- 500g pack cherry tomatoes

- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Heat the oil over a medium heat in a large, wide flameproof roasting tin or casserole dish.
- Cook the sausages in the tin or casserole dish for 5-10 minutes, turning regularly, until lightly browned all over. Remove the sausages and set aside on a plate.
