Pre-heat the oven to 180°C – 350°F – Gas mark 4

Heat the iron cast pan over a medium heat, add the olive oil and when it’s hot, cook the sausages all round until brown. When cooked, remove them from the pan using a draining spoon and set aside.

Sautee the onion in the same pan, adding more olive oil if needed, stirring constantly to avoid the onion from burning, then add the cider.
