BALSAMIN SAUSAGE AND BUTTERBEAN TRAY BAKE
I’m all for a meal that takes 5 minutes to prepare but tastes like more effort has gone into it! Balsamic vinegar on roasted veg is lovely, but throw in some sausages and butterbeans and you have an all-in-one meal that is not only very easy, but also tasty and filling!
You can get reduced fat sausages in most of the supermarkets now- I’ve tried the ones from Tesco, Sainsburys, Co-op, Marks and Spencer and Morrisons and all have been nice! I also really like the Black Farmer sausages- the Black Farmer’s daughter’s chipolatas are very lean. It’s also worth asking your local butcher if they have any low fat sausages!

Notes
Perfect served with green salad. I also like to add a bit of sriracha onto mine, or if you like a kick to start with, add some dried chilli flakes in to start with.
