STEP 1 Fry the onion and celery in the oil over a low heat until it starts to soften and cook, about 5 mins, then spoon it into the slow cooker. Fry the carrots briefly and add them too. STEP 2 Brown the sausages all over in the same frying pan – make sure they get a really good colour because they won’t get any browner in the slow cooker.
(Hairy Bikers recommend frying sausages with a little bit of oil in a non-stick frying pan for 10 minutes, turning regularly.) While the sausages are in the oven, start preparing the sauce. Heat up a few tablespoons of oil in the shallow cast iron pot, add the onion in and fry until soft and opaque, around 5 minutes.
