Morteau sausage tagine with dried fruit

Serves: 6
Difficulty: Easy

Let’s be honest – one-pot cooking is one of the best inventions since sliced baguette. Make a massive pan of food, portion it up and pop it in the freezer for future easy meals after a long day at work; or keep it on the go throughout the week, adding different elements every day so you don’t get bored (I have been known to start the week with a bolognese and end it with a chilli, all from the same pot). Most of us have chillis, bolognese, curries and stews in our repertoire, but how about ringing the changes with a spicy tagine?

Ingredients

• 2 Morteau sausages
• 100g dried apricots
• 100g dry prunes
• 100g yellow raisins
• 50g almonds
• 50g olives
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 3 tablespoons honey

3Add the almonds and olives and simmer again for 10 minutes.

4Before serving, salt and pepper the tagine and top with chopped coriander.
