Sausage and halloumi bake

A bake with a difference and not the same as others!

Ingredients

• ½ tbsp olive oil
• 795g Sausages, cut into 2-3cm pieces
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp tomato puree
• 400g bazil passata
• ½ tbsp thyme leaves, roughly chopped
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 250g halloumi, cut into ½cm slices
• 14g basil

Method

1. Heat the oil in a 24cm round ovenproof dish or skillet on the hob over a medium/high heat and add the sausage pieces. Cook for 4-5 minutes until browned all over, then remove from the pan. Add the onion to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, until softened and lightly golden.
2. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add the tomato purée, passata, thyme and oregano. Return the sausages to the pan. Simmer everything together for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat.
3. Lay the halloumi pieces out over the top of the dish then place under a hot grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the halloumi is deep golden and everything is bubbling. Leave to cool slightly for a few minutes, then garnish with the torn basil leaves and serve with the salad.
