Brown 16 good quality sausages. Place chopped onion, diced carrot, diced swede, sliced leek and mixed dried split peas/lentils, sliced mushrooms etc in slow cooker. Add enough stock to cover (stock is made with stock cube and hot water). Add browned sausages. Put the lid on and switch the cooker on. Walk away for the day. Return half an hour before you want to eat, give it a stir and decide if "gravy" needs any thickening ~ if so add it now. Boil and mash some spuds. Serve and eat.
Tinned Tomatoes are always good in this but the THW is allergic to them so we don't add them if she is eating at home.
Also add any mixed herbs, salt and pepper to suit your taste.
Basically we throw everything in that we want to use up from the veg rack (a bit like a Nick I'm going on holiday tomorrow omelette) Tonight's offering also contains the remains of a couple of bags of frozen peas and sweetcorn.
Yes I know 16 bangers is a lot but there are five of us eating it.
