Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Put a large non-stick roasting tin into the oven to get hot.
  2. Lightly crush the rosemary and mix with the garlic and 4 tbsp olive oil. Add the cubed potatoes, toss and coat well with the mixture. Tip into the hot roasting tin. Roast for 40-45 minutes turning occasionally.
  3. Meanwhile, remove skins from the sausages, and divide each sausage into 4, and roll into meatballs. Heat a little olive oil in a pan, add the meatballs and pancetta and cook on a low heat until coloured.
  4. Scoop these out of the pan. Add the chopped vegetables (not the tomatoes) to the pan until softened - around 5 minutes. Return the meatballs and pancetta. Add the tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, fennel seeds, oregano and chilli, bring to the boil, then turn down and simmer for 30 minutes. Season. Serve with the potatoes and kale or greens.

    made this tonight after seeing it on the front page today. absolutely lovely. next time id use a little less chilli even though i like things hot, the fennel seeds and half a tsp chill flakes would do. the potatoes were delicious!

    I liked both the meatball dish and the roast potato dish - but not together. I found the flavours rather overpowering. Plain new potatoes or rice with the meatballs would be good.

    I used Chilli and Coriander sausages and left out the chilli flakes, was divine, the only thing I would say is that the meatballs didn't hold their shape particularly well but the taste more than made up for it!

    I've made this three times now and every time it's been incredibly well recieved. Absolutely delicious. I used dried mixed herbs instead of oregano, and I reduced the ammount of chilli as it looked like rather a lot for me (I am a bit of a spice wuss). Lovely, tasty recipe.

    It was just ok. Nothing special. May make the potatoes again, but serve with something else.

    Very tasty but I had to sacrifice both the onions and celery for peppers due to the fella! Im sure was equally as good, the sauce was so rich!
