- Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a heavy-based frying pan, preferably non-stick, and cook the sausages over a moderate heat, turning frequently, for about 5 minutes until golden on all sides. Remove from the pan with a draining spoon and place on kitchen paper to blot up any excess fat.
- Add the rest of the oil to the pan and cook the onion for 6–7 minutes. Add the garlic and carrots and cook for a further 3–4 minutes until the onion is beginning to colour. Stir in the canned tomatoes with their juice, the cider and stock.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then return the sausages to the pan and cook for 15–20 minutes until they are thoroughly cooked and the sauce has slightly reduced. Stir in the herbs and some freshly ground black pepper to taste, then let the sauce bubble for a minute before serving.
