Ingredients:
  • 36.40 gm olive oil
  • 2 fresh Italian-style sausages
  • 2 leeks, trimmed, chopped and washed
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • 6 chat (new) potatoes, unpeeled and halved
  • 2 carrots, peeled, cut into batons 1.5cm in diameter and 4cm long

Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, fry the sausages in 1 tablespoon of olive oil for about 8 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Remove and drain on paper towel.
