Ingredients:
• 450g venison sausages (from our farm shop)

• 150ml red wine
• 300ml beef stock

Instructions:
1. Brown the Sausages
In a large, heavy-based frying pan over medium heat. Brown the venison sausages evenly, then set aside.
2. Cook the Onions and Garlic
In the same pan, cook the sliced onions until softened and golden. Add the crushed garlic and cook for another minute.
3. Combine with Wine and Stock
Stir in the tomato purée, followed by the red wine, allowing it to reduce for a few minutes. Add the beef stock and bay leaf, and season with salt and pepper.
4. Braise the Sausages
Return the sausages to the pan, cover, and simmer gently for 45 minutes until the sausages are tender and the sauce has thickened.
5. Serve and Enjoy!
Serve the sausages with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. A side of seasonal greens rounds out this hearty dish.
