Method

step 1

Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. First, make the batter. Tip the milk, flour, mustard powder, salt, eggs and 150ml of water into a blender (this won’t work in a food processor) and briefly whizz together until just combined. Stir in the rosemary leaves and set aside.
step 2

Put the carrots and red onion into a large, shallow roasting tin with the olive oil and some salt and pepper. Swirl the tin around to coat. Spread everything out in a single layer, then nestle in the sausages among the veg. Roast at the top of the oven for 15 minutes.
step 3

Turn over the vegetables and sausages, add the broccoli and roast for a further 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and scatter over the cherry tomatoes.
step 4

Give the batter a quick stir, then pour it over the vegetables. Return to the oven for a further 25-30 minutes or until the batter has risen and is deep golden brown.
step 5

Serve scattered with a few sea salt flakes and some extra sprigs of rosemary. This is also good served with mustard.
