6-8 sausages - whatever kind you prefer, but preferably strong flavoured ones (**)
2 onions
6 cloves garlic(*)
1 1/2 teaspoon chilli powder (*)
2 cartons tomatoes in tomato puree (*)

In frying pan, add sausages and start cooking over a medium heat
In other pan, fry onions, then garlic. Add chilli now if using fresh
When sausages are nicely brown and onions are soft add chilli powder, shredded herbs and 1/2 red wine to onions.
Chop sausages into 4 and add to onion mix.

(* Recipe called for 1 glass of white wine, no basil and sage, and tinned tomatoes or passata. It also called for only 2 cloves of garlic, and suggested one fresh chilli. If I'd've used fresh chillis, I would have used about 6 small medium heat ones. I changed to red wine for two reasons - it goes better with tomatoes and the sausages I used, plus we didn't have any white...)
(** I used wild venison sausages. Yes, I'm no longer vegetarian)
