Serves: 2-3

Prep time: 30 minutes

Cook time: 1 hour

Ingredients

Method

  1. Blister the Peppers:
    Start by blistering the skins of the peppers. Place them directly over a high flame on the hob, turning as needed to char the skin evenly without burning the flesh. Once fully charred, transfer the peppers to a large bowl, cover tightly with cling film, and leave to steam for 15 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Peppers:
    Preheat your oven to 180°C. After the peppers have steamed, peel away the charred skin under running water. Remove the seeds and slice the flesh into strips.
  3. Brown the Sausages:
    Heat a large casserole pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Brown the sausages evenly, then remove them from the pan and set aside.
  4. Combine Ingredients:
    Add the peeled peppers, bay leaves, onions, and potatoes to the casserole pan. Season generously with sea salt and stir well.
  5. Add Stock and Wine:
    Pour in the chicken stock and white wine, stirring to combine. Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and cook for 25 minutes.
  6. Add Herbs:
    After 25 minutes, remove the pan from the oven, add the fresh oregano, and give everything a good stir. Return the dish to the oven for another 20 minutes.
  7. Finish with Sausages:
    Finally, nestle the sausages into the dish, ensuring they are partly submerged. Return to the oven for 10-15 minutes, allowing the sausages to absorb the flavours and heat through.

Serve hot and enjoy the combination of smoky peppers, tender potatoes, and juicy sausages!

  • We are reaching the end of our wild garlic sausages, as the season begins to slip away and only the deeper, shaded pockets of woodland still offer the tender leaves we rely on. It is from these cooler, quieter areas that we are still able to gather what we need, though even here the plants are beginning to turn, and once the flowers arrive, the flavour shifts and our time with wild garlic comes to a close for another year. As ever, we follow the season rather than stretch it, working with what is left while it is still at its best, which means if you have been enjoying them, or have been meaning to try them, now is the time to cook them or put a few aside for later. Before long, they will be gone, and we will wait for spring to bring them back again.
  • A while back we had the pleasure of visiting @petea25 at the @cantonarms Arms, where we spoke about their ever evolving menu, a place that is not afraid to cook things until they are gone and then move on to something new. We saw how they treated the Swaledale pork chop, and it told you everything you needed to know. Cooked with care, handled properly, and full of flavour. It was, simply, delicious.
  • Here’s our Trevor, stood in front of an expertly butchered sirloin section. Porterhouse, T bone, Wing rib, New York strip, fillet, sirloin. All cut from the same part of the animal, each one offering something slightly different. Key question is; which one are you taking?
  • The Dales never hurry themselves into spring, and this year is no different. You can drive through them and still feel winter holding on, yet something has shifted all the same. It begins quietly. Hawthorn shows along the hedgerows, just enough to catch the eye. The grass is lifting, the fields softening, losing that tired, flattened look they carry through the colder months. Out on the land, the change is clearer. Lambs are scattered across the fields, finding their feet, while cattle have been turned back out and settle easily into the pasture. There is a rhythm to it again, a sense that the farms are beginning to move. Nothing arrives all at once. It comes on steadily, almost cautiously, as the land turns back to life.
  • The fallacy of Spring lamb! When we eat lamb in early April, we aren’t eating the lovely little fluffy things people see hopping about in the fields. In fact, you’re actually eating – or at least you are if you are buying from us – old season lamb. The animals that were born the previous springtime. They are age wise, on the verge of morphing into hogget and, in our opinion, it is lamb at its very best. More flavourful as the meat has developed with age, but still with the tenderness one expects with lamb. One thing that is not in doubt is that it pairs perfectly with a lot of the seasonal ingredients of this time of year, the peas, broad beans and courgettes from the continent, plus Jersey royals, asparagus and wild garlic from these shores. We have plenty of these wonderful carcasses ageing in our fridges, so embrace the idea of eating last years spring lamb!
  • A classic of French cooking, built on combinations that have stood their ground for good reason, and long may they do so. Chicken breast roasted in brown butter, creamy mash worked with plenty of butter and dairy, and a mustard sauce brought together with cream. It reads rich, but it eats with balance. The Dijon and tarragon cut through, lifting the dish and keeping it in check.

  • Filmed on a blustery day at the Harewood House estate, Ellen talks us through the Highland cattle and the wider farming approach shaping the land here. These short films look at how the estate is guiding the land back towards what it once was, using the right livestock for the right terrain and allowing systems to work with the landscape rather than against it. Hardy cattle, able to outwinter on pasture alone, reduce the need for inputs and bring a different kind of balance to the farm. For chefs, this is where the story begins. The flavour comes later, but it is built here, in the fields, through decisions made over time rather than in a single season. It is a strong example of thoughtful farming, where lower inputs and careful management can support both the land and a sustainable margin, all driven by a clear intention to make the estate work for nature as much as it does for people.
