Preparation

Step 1

Peel the potatoes, wash them and cut each potato in four pieces. Peel one large or two
smaller onions and cut them in wedges. Remove the base and stalks of the fennel, and
turn that one into wedges as well and slice the bell pepper in strips and put
everything in a big roasting tray.

Use a big bowl to combine the oil with the Italian herbs, grated or chopped garlic, and
broth and pour it over the vegetables. Toss them around to make sure the
broth gets everywhere. Season with a generous amount of salt and black pepper.

Cover the tray with aluminum foil and cook in a preheated 450F oven for 45 minutes.
While that is in the oven, lightly brown the sausages and slice each sausage in half or thirds. After the initial 45 minutes, the potatoes and vegetables should be fork tender. If they’re not, cover the tray with the foil and pop them back in the oven for a few more minutes. If they are fork tender, place the sausages with the potatoes and vegetables and pour the balsamic vinegar all over. Place the tray back in the oven, uncovered, for 15 – 20 minutes, stirring once or twice.
