Gluten Free Sausages in Tomato Sauce

This is a really easy and tasty variation on the standard meat and veg meal meal made from whatever was in the fridge and cupboard at the time.  The only problem is I cooked this at least a month ago, so what was it I actually did...

Recipe: Sausages in tomato sauce
Special Needs Categories: gluten free, fructose free
Special Needs Translated: no gluten, no onion

Ingredients:
  • sausages, go for some nice ones (make sure they are gluten free and don't have onion)
  • celery
  • garlic
  • tomato puree (make sure it is just tomato as many have onion and some have gluten)
  • favorite herbs, think Italian, oregano, rosemary, basil, thyme
  • broccoli/beans/corn/carrot (whatever veg you have & like)
  • tomato paste if you like it to be rich (check for gluten)
Method:
Start with a fry pan that will be able to fit all the sausages and sauce you are making, it helps if it has a lid.  If it it much bigger than the sausages then you'll need a lot of sauce to cover them, if it's too small then obviously it won't fit.
Simply fry of the sausages and as they are almost cooked, add the chopped celery and garlic.  Fry this off while the sausages finish cooking then add enough tomato puree to cover the sausages.  Add your herbs and any veggies and cook on a slow simmer for 10-20 min or until the veggies are cooked.  Serve with mashed potatoes or some toasted bread, gluten free of course.
