Preparation and cooking times
Ready in 45 mins
- Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Put a large non-stick roasting tin into the oven to get hot.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
