Sunday night tray bake. Family food. After the sudden onset of chilly weather and a busy weekend of sport, sport and more sport it fits the bill perfectly. Warm and filling. Quick and easy to prepare. Another dish that looks after itself in the oven. Its a meal that I used to prepare often when my children were younger. Somehow it dropped off the radar but was reintroduced into my repertoire last night with much appreciation.

Amazing! Wish I had some right now!
It does look good with all those colours doesn’t it? The leftovers taste even better the next day.
Yes, the colors are beautiful! I bet they do taste better the next day! 🙂
Great dish! I love the idea of putting all the ingredients in one dish and baking it. Sounds simply delicious!
It is. All those lovely flavours meld together. A perfect dish for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
I want this, now please! Looks amazing!
This looks great. Pork and fennel go so well together – I’m sure this tasted absolutely fabulous.
Haven’t got a kg of chipolatas but I am halving the recipe,didn’t know what I was going to do with them till I found this recipe and it looks so delicious…oh and I haven’t any cherry tomatoes so I am going with some grated parmesan on top after the bread goes in! Seems like a posh sausage meal to me! Thanks!
This is one of those recipes that easily adapts to the contents of your fridge. I make this often usually at the end of the week just before a shop to use up all the bits and pieces. It’s a little bit different every single time. Hope you enjoyed it Cathy. I love it when readers take a recipe and make it their own.
And as above…I made it, great recipe, thank you! I
Yum – cooking this tonight. Putting in everything except fennel as the MOTH (man of the house) is not keen on it. Can’t believe I had all of these ingredients in the fridge/freezer/pantry/herb garden!
Hope you enjoy your dinner. Tray bakes are infinitely adaptable, probably why I love them so much. I make this often with whatever happens to be on hand, sometimes I even throw in some chicken wings with the chipolatas.
