About

This ultimate comfort food recipe is one you can turn to when all you want is something quick and easy that you can throw into one pot. For the best results use some good-quality pork sausages, ideally with some Italian flavourings such as fennel seeds. If you can't find any you could always add a scattering of fennel seeds or a sliced fennel bulb with the onions.
