Roasted sausages with sweet caramelised red onion and apple make for a fantastic autumnal centrepiece. It’s quick and easy and can be scaled up or down, depending on the number of guests. The below quantities would serve three people as a main course.

Method

Preheat a large roasting tin in the oven at 220°C, fan oven 200°C/gas 7.
With a sharp knife, slice the apples into rounds
Peel the red onion and cut off the bulb and root at the bottom, and tunic at the top
Rinse the onion in cold water before slicing it into wedges
Separate three large cloves from a garlic bulb - do not peel them
Add the sausages, apples, onions and whole garlic cloves to the roasting tin and sprinkle with oil, salt, pepper, a pinch of juniper berries and the sprigs of thyme
Cook according to the sausage packet instructions, usually for around 30 minutes in the centre of the oven, turning halfway through
