Add caraway seeds, reserved fennel tops and hard cider or apple juice. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, uncovered. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let sit to allow the flavors to mingle. (The sauerkraut can be made up to 2 days in advance and kept covered in the refrigerator until ready to use.)

To grill sausages, place on the cooking grate over direct medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally to mark all sides of the sausage.

SAUSAGE AND FENNEL CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Halve onions and slice thinly
• Fry gently in a splash of oil with the fennel seeds and crushed garlic for 5 mins

• The idea is to brown the sausages all over whilst they absorb some of the flavour of the fennel etc
• Peel and slice the potatoes into long wedges
• Add potatoes, zest and juice of 2 lemons and a cupful of water, stir to coat - don't be tempted to add too much water at this stage, add 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Transfer to casserole if necessary (I use a cast iron one that goes on the hob too) and cook at 180C(fan) 200C(standard)gas6 for about 45 mins. Check occasionally and stir gently to get all potatoes in liquid - add a bit more if needed.
• Once potatoes are tender adjust seasoning, stir in parsley if needed and serve with green salad or veg of choice
