I was sceptical about this recipe at first but can safely say that it's well worth a try. A really yummy twist on the classic bangers and mash. The smell when the fennel seeds and garlic hit the pan is to die for! I didn't have any red wine vinegar so, like others, substituted with balsamic and a splash of red wine. Really tasty. Will definitely be cooking it again!

I made something very similar in the summer, I know for a fact that this recipe is a winner. I'll be making it tonight and (like others) will be using wine instead of wine-vinegar; only through necessity though, we have a lot of wine at the minute...

Sausage with grapes sounds crazy, but this is delicious! I just left out the fennel seeds as I'm not that keen on fennel.

This was delicious, I cooked this for some friends and they loved it. Was a bit dubious about the grapes but they really added a lovely sweetness and tasted beautiful with the red wine vinegar. Made a nice change to the standard mash, veg and gravy!

It was nice, but I wasn't too keen on the fennel seed. But thats probably just a matter of personal taste.

A great summery sausage recipe! I was looking for a change from the more traditional and wintery recipes with beer and wine and I wasn't disappointed.
