When the end of July feels like the middle of October there's nothing for it but a huge tasty sausage casserole. Ringing the changes I used smoked pancetta and wild boar sausages. The sausages had a really firm. close texture and a deeply savoury flavour which was excellent with the red wine and mushroom sauce. The veggie version was the same casserole, but made with Linda McCartney red onion sausages. Yum.
I also made a nectarine and cranberry crumble, which went down well, but I forgot to take it's pic.
