Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Can substitute sausage of your choice for pork sausages; and sweet potatoes for russet potatoes.

    It even worked with vegetarian sausage!

    Potato a bit weird. Tart with vinegat

    My family liked this OK, but didn't love it; the sauce was quite sharp - bites with everything mixed together, making sure to get a bit of sausage, were best. Since my sausages were smaller, I added them after the plums had roasted 20 minutes, which seemed good. I agree with Lsblackburn1 that the potato texture wasn't great. Might make again when I have a glut of plums, maybe with Yukon Gold potatoes instead.

    Yum. We really loved this. I used veggie sausages (Richmond's meat free), which worked perfectly, and sweet potatoes, which went very nicely with the tangy sauce. I reduced the oil on the veggies and skipped the drizzle at the end, and it didn't feel like it was missing any. A+, will definitely make again.

    For me this was good but not great. Maybe my plums were too tart? Mostly I just wasn’t into the potatoes; they were too mushy and grainy. I used cilantro instead of parsley and I liked that change.

    We really enjoyed this dish and will make it again. I used a little less oil than called for to roast the vegetables. We couldn't find red plums, so I used purple and they were very good. Also, I used hot Italian turkey sausage and it was delicious. It was easy to put together, as it didn't require a lot of prep, just a lot of cook time. Will definitely make this dish again in the fall, when plums are in season.

    I'm not going to rate this due to all of the changes I made...I doubled it for guests, which turned out to make a ridiculously large amount of food, and also reduced the oil by quite a bit. It took much longer for the veggies to cook, and then 40 minutes seemed too long for the sausages, which were overcooked. I'd definitely try this again, as I love the flavor combo.

    This was delicious full of flavour and loved by the carnivores in my family. Very easy to prepare.

    Oh wow this was good!! It totally delivers on flavour and easy enough for a weeknight. I used Cumberland sausages but would like to try other types too. A keeper
