Ingredients

  • Glug light olive or vegetable oil
  • 4 tbs chopped onion - or use ready chopped frozen
  • 1 bell pepper - deseeded and sliced - or use a handful of frozen
  • 2 speciality sausages - use veggie sausages for a veggie dish, deskinned and crumbled

  • 2 tbs sweetcorn kernels

Instructions

  • n a saute pan fry the onions and garlic in the oil until soft, add the sausage meat and peppers and other vegetables (if using) and cook for a few more minutes.
  • Pour over the tinned tomatoes and stir in the ketchup. Season and then cover and allow to simmer, stirring from time to time until the sauce has thickened. 5 mins before serving stir in the frozen peas and corn.
  • Serve in a freshly baked ciabatta or crusty bread with sliced gherkins and cheese for the ultimate sausage ragu Sloppy Joe.

Notes

Make this vegetarian with using a veggie mince in place of the sausage meat
To make this super speedy add some of my fat free slow cooker tomato sauce rather that making the sauce from scratch.
