Method

1. Wrap each sausage in a rasher of bacon, and brown all over in a large casserole.

2. Remove the sausages, and lightly brown the onions. When they’re done, sprinkle in the flour to soak up th juices, and then gradually stir in the wine.

3. Put the sausages back in, with the garlic, bayleaf, thyme and seasoning. Cover and simmer very gently for 30 minutes.

4. Brown the mushrooms in a little butter, and stir them into the casserole. Continue cooking for a further 20 minutes – this time with the lid off.
