    Can substitute Fuji apples for Honeycrisp apples, and fennel fronds for parsley.

    I used fresh "Oktoberfest" sausages & replaced the fennel with thinly sliced celery (as she suggests). I used hard cider for the sauce & as it reduced, I hasselbacked the sausages to get all the flavours into the meat. I was a little worried about the sweetness, so I swirled in some compound butter (with Dijon, basil, capers & garlic). This was delicious served with a colcannon style mash and an easy choice for repeat.

    I used the whole fennel bulb and red onion and would do that again as they cook down a lot, plus they helped balance the sweet apple. Served with bread and salad (not enough veg for us otherwise). Family enjoyed.

    Great dish. For two people, I made the full recipe but only two sausages. Takes about an hour, and there are several stages. I served an involved salad with it, but that was too much trouble. Instead, I recommend serving with a simple salad (good ideas on page 263 of this book) and definitely bread to soak up liquid. We didn't have the bread, but I caught my husband lifting the bowl to his lips at the end of the meal to finish all the tasty liquid. Do take out the sausages to reduce the liquid - mine were a little overcooked because I left them in too long.

    This was delicious , easy and surprisingly complex. Don't skip bread for dunking and a nice green salad.
