Sausages in Ketchup

I just had to put this recipe before I forget it, because this recipe is so easy that it will get lost amidst the other mighty dishes on the blog. I first learnt this recipe from Arun's mom. She used to make this dish when she had no mood of cooking & wanted to close the kitchen soon, to be with us in the living room for a game of cards. :) Last week, this recipe came handy when we wanted to watch a movie on the television & I had to quickly finish off the kitchen chores.

I have used "Lincolnshire Sausages", cos its the tastiest of all sausages what you get here in the UK. You can use any type of sausages or frankfurters. This can be had as a quick under 20 minute dinner or even as an appetizer. I suggest, you use the cocktail sausages when it is made as an appetizer. It will be a change from the usual "just roast the sausages" recipe. Take your notes and pen down this one fast. :)

Ingredients:

a pack of sausages (6-7 sausages approx)
1 medium onion (thinly sliced lengthwise)
4-5 tbsp tomato ketchup
1 tsp oil
salt & loads of pepper for seasoning
chopped coriander leaves (optional)

Method:

Cut the sausages into 1/2 inch thick round slices. If you are using cocktail sausages, do not cut it.
Heat a non stick frying pan and add the oil. We are using very little oil because sausages will ooze out oil while cooking. When the oil is hot, add the sliced onions. Saute well till it is translucent.
Now add the sausage slices & mix well. Let the sausages get cooked and slightly roasted. Stir frequently. Add salt at this stage & some pepper. (more the pepper, better the taste).
When you think that the sausage is fully cooked and starting to get brownish on the outside, add in the ketchup. Mix well until the ketchup coats well with the sausages. Add some more pepper if you want. Keep it on the gas for few more minutes and switch it off.
I used some generous amount of coriander leaves & mixed it at the end to give that "Desi" flavour. {My "Indianness" will never leave me and go ;) }
