Slow Cooker Sausages

Hello Fodmappers...



Status: Dietician -8 days and counting.

Am currently in the tail end of the worst IBS attack I've had since I started FODMAP. There's a washing machine in there and it's not pleasant. Yellable pain. It's been pretty stressful the last few days, but I can only think I must have slipped somewhere to give me this painful a reaction.

A recipe that worked well:

In our house, we like sausages. A lot. Possibly too much *L* My dd is the queen of meat and sausages are her favourite. This year we grew potatoes, and I had a number that were damaged when we cleared the bed last weekend. I also had a few other bits and pieces, so....


Ingredients
Sausages to suit (I used Sainsburys free from sausages, which I like)
suitable potatoes, cleaned and chopped into chunky bits.
fodmap friendly bottom of the fridge veg (I had a couple of slightly bendy carrots, half a pepper)
suitable stock cube (I just used an ordinary one, to be honest...I was fine, but as usual, YMMV)
Tin of tomatoes
Tin of water (helps to get all the tomatoeyness out of the tin, if you use hot water you can also dissolve the stock cube in this to save on washing up)
Italian Seasoning (Sainsburys own brand does not have garlic in), ground Cumin and a grind or two of black pepper



Set your slow cooker to preheat
place your potatoes into the bottom of it when warmed up (or just dump them in there, that's fine too!)
Brown off your sausages by preferred method. Put on top of the potatoes
prepare your other veg and stick that in as well
Add the tinned tomatoes and the stock/water
Add your seasonings - I have no precise quantities...probably a generous teaspoon of italian seasoning and ....3/4 of a tsp of cumin? You may need to experiment depending on your tolerance.

Mix it together.
Leave to cook on high and smell delicious for a minimum of 3-4 hours, mine was there more like ...5-6.

Eat and enjoy. We definitely did :)
