Are Venison Sausages Healthy?
This venison sausage casserole is healthy because I used low fat venison sausages.
But even with regular venison sausages, as venison are usually wild and grass fed their meat is much leaner than beef.
Venison also contains less saturated fat too.
Not only healthy, but also venison sausages are normally cheaper than regular pork or beef sausages.
That means this recipe is great for feeding a family. Especially if you're on a budget!
Why not have a hunt about in your local supermarket and see if you can find cuts of meat (other than the traditional beef or pork) that have been made into sausages?

Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 venison sausages
- Low fat cooking spray
- 1 medium onion sliced
- 2 red peppers sliced
- 250 g button mashrooms sliced
- 2 tablespoon tomato puree

- 1 tablespoon cornflour mixed with 2 tbsp. cold water
- 2 beef stock cubes mixed in 250ml boiled water
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 400 g tin chopped tomatoes

Instructions
- Grill the venison sausages under a medium grill, or use a George Forman grill. Once cooked lay aside to cool whilst you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Spray the bottom of a stove proof casserole dish or a medium sized saucepan with the cooking spray. Turn the heat on high and when the oil starts to bubble reduce the heat to medium.

- Stir in the tomato puree, mixed herbs, cornflour mixture, stock and dijon mustard and combine everything well.
- Add the tin of tomatoes and stir together.
- Bring the contents of the pan to the boil, then turn down to simmer.
- Whilst simmering away cut the sausages into half lengthways and then half the halves, and cut those in half so that you have 8 pieces from each sausage.
- Add the sausage pieces to the saucepan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until everything has cooked through and season with salt and pepper.
- Divide between bowls and serve with couscous or basmati rice.
