Roasted Sausage, Sweet Potato, Apple & Pear

Pear is one of the few fruits that I’m not a big fan of. I would never sit and eat a whole pear like I do an apple. I think it’s the texture i’m not so sure about. However, chopped up and mixed in with other things, I don’t mind it. They were on offer in Tesco the other week so I decided to get some and try and be creative with adding them to some savoury dishes. I spent a good while researching for ideas and combined several recipes to come up with this. It’s actually really simple to make and tastes great. It is quite sweet but the roasted apple, pear and sweet potato provide different textures, so it’s really nice to eat.
