Tips

To reduce the fat content of this dish, sausages and bacon can be grilled in the oven and when cooked, transferred onto a plate with paper towels to absorb any remaining fat.

The tomatoes can also be grilled. Place tomatoes cut side up on an oven proof tray lined with a sheet of baking paper, sprinkle with salt and pepper and grill until browned.
