Ended up using sweet potato (the pre-chopped frozen chunks you can buy at Tesco as they'd run out of Swede) and slightly adjusted timings for that - it was absolutely delicious!

I tried this using celeriac instead of swede and caraway instead of cumin and it worked really well. A good easy weeknight tea (apart from the despair as a knife inevitably gets stuck in the middle of the swede)

Perfect for the post-Christmas meal when you need something that isn't too heavy. I had almost all the ingredients in the fridge/cupboard but substituted dried thyme for fresh (which was fine) and some ancient Granny Smith's apples which were festering in the bottom of the fridge. I only had one red onion so used a white onion as well, which was also fine. We didn't bother with any other vegetables or accompaniments. The only thing I did that was different was to whack up the temperature to 220 C for the final 15 mins (I did 30 mins at 180 C then a further 15 mins at 220C_) which caramelised the veg and browned the sausages. For some reason, I can't rate this but would give it 5 stars.

This is fabulous! I made it for the first time today and will be making it again and again. We have ended up with a crop of about 100 swedes on our allotment this year, which was admittedly an odd thing to grow so many of, as we've never particularly enjoyed swede! I've been working my way through various swede recipes, and this is by far the best. Swede's distinctive taste blends beautifully with the maple syrup, apple, cumin and thyme. The whole family ate it with relish, even our six year old daughter, who has resisted all previous attempts to convince her to eat her share of the swede harvest! Well done, Good Food, thanks for a fabulous recipe.
