Delicious oven-baked Italian sausage and fennel rice casserole the whole family will enjoy.
Ingredients:
  • 45.50 gm olive oil
  • 4 Italian pork sausages
  • 1 brown onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 carrot, finely chopped
  • 2 fennel bulbs, trimmed, thickly sliced
  • 266.00 gm Brown Medium Grain Rice
  • 400g can baby roma tomatoes
  • 150g day old sourdough bread, coarsely chopped
  • 20.00 ml chopped sage leaves
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 200C (180C fan-forced).
  • In a large flameproof shallow baking dish over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of oil until shimmering. Cook sausages for 6-7 minutes until nicely browned. Remove from heat and slice sausages thickly on the diagonal.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the pan over medium heat. Sauté onion, carrot, and fennel for 10 minutes or until soft. Mix in rice until coated in oil. Put the sausages back in the pan with tomatoes and 2⅓ cups (580ml) water. Season, stir well, and bring to a boil. Cover and bake for 45 minutes.
  • Toss bread, sage, and remaining oil in a bowl. Sprinkle over the dish. Grill for 6 minutes until bread is golden and crunchy.
