Sausage and Pear Hot Pot

Last night for my dinner i had Sausage and Pear hot pot which was very yummy and one thing that i will be cooking regularly. So do you want to try it? I got this recipe from my bff and her weight watchers cook book.

Serves 2

4 syns per serving

Fry light

4 reduced fat Cumberland sausages, each sliced into 4

1 large onion, sliced

2 garlic cloves, chopped

1 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tsp fennel seeds

225g (8oz) butternut squash

1 tbsp plain flour

400ml (14fl oz) vegetable stock

1 pear, cored and cut into bite size pieces

1 tbsp wholegrain mustard

salt and freshly ground black pepper

1) Heat a large non-stick saucepan over a medium heat and then spray with fry light. Add the sausages and cook for 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned. Remove from the pan, cover and set aside

2) Add the onion to the pan, spray with fry light and cook for 6 minutes, covered until softened. add the garlic, thyme, fennel seeds, squash and carrots. Cook stirring for another minute

3) Add the flour and cook stirring continuously for a further minute. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil then reduce the heat. Add the pear and sausages and simmer over a low heat stirring occasionally for 20 minutes until the stock has reduced and the squash is tender. Season and stir in the mustard.

4) Serve

This is very filling but i added new potatoes to it (put them in at the same time as the pear and sausage)

I hope you enjoy it as much as we both did.

Take care and happy slimming
