Sausage Stroganoff

Even fairly decent sausages are much cheaper than meat. This was a lovely stroganoff and not too bad in the healthy stakes too. I used a low fat natural yoghurt and served it over spaetzle and green veg.

Sausage Stroganoff (from My Golden Pear)

(Serves 4)

8 pork sausages

1 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, chopped finely

4 bacon rashers, chopped

2 garlic cloves, chopped finely

500 g mushrooms, sliced

250 ml beef stock

60 ml tomato paste

1 tsp smoked paprika

60 ml natural yoghurt

Grill or lightly fry sausages until cooked and nicely browned. Slice each sausage into 3 or 4 pieces and set to one side.

Add the oil to a frying pan and fry onions until soft. Add the bacon and garlic to pan and continue to fry until bacon is cook. Add the mushrooms and continue to fry for approximately 5 mins or until the mushrooms are soft. Add the beef stock, tomato paste and paprika and bring to a simmer, stirring well. Add the sausage pieces and continue to simmer for a couple of minutes. Stir in the yogurt, mix well until heated through. Serve.
