Ingredients

1 tbsp vegetable oil
8 pork or meat-free sausages
1 large onion, sliced
2 carrots, or any other root veg, roughly chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tsp mixed dried herbs
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
1 vegetable stock cube
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp English mustard
1 x 260g bag of spinach
mashed potatoes, to serve (optional)

Method

Heat the oil in a large, lidded pan over a medium heat and fry the sausages until browned. Reduce the heat to low-medium, add the onions and carrots, and cook gently for 5 mins until soft.
Add the garlic and dried herbs, then cook for 1 min. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, stock cube, honey and mustard. Turn up the heat to medium and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 30-40 mins, stirring now and then, until the carrots are tender and the sauce has reduced a little.
Around 5 mins before serving, add the spinach, in batches if necessary. Cover and cook for 5 mins, until wilted. Season with salt and pepper, and serve with mashed potato, if you like.
