Dish history:
Cooking with sausages has always been a way to transform simple ingredients into hearty meals. Sausages are often associated with moments of conviviality, and baking them with fresh vegetables adds a touch of rustic charm and warmth to the meal. This recipe blends tradition with creativity, and each ingredient contributes harmoniously.

Ingredients:
- 1 kg fresh sausages
- 1 kg potatoes
- 1 kg tomatoes
- 1 kg champignon mushrooms
- 3 cloves of garlic
- A sprig of fresh rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Olive oil, to taste
- 1 glass of white wine
- 1 glass of water

Step by step for a perfect dish:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by peeling the potatoes. Cut them into quarters to ensure even baking. The tomatoes, after peeling, should be diced, and the mushrooms should be cleaned, washed, and can be halved or left whole, depending on their size.

2. Arranging in the tray: In a large baking tray, add a splash of olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the sausages in the center of the tray, and around them, arrange the potatoes and the whole garlic (without peeling). Add the mushrooms and the diced tomatoes on top.

3. Seasoning: It's time to add the flavors! Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste, then add the basil, oregano, and the sprig of rosemary. These herbs will give your dish an irresistible aroma.

4. Adding liquids: Now move on to the wet part of the recipe. Drizzle everything with another splash of olive oil and add the white wine, followed by water. These liquids will help cook the vegetables and provide a tasty sauce.

5. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Cover the tray with aluminum foil to allow the ingredients to cook evenly. Let it bake for about 40 minutes.

6. Finishing: Once the potatoes are tender, remove the aluminum foil and increase the oven temperature by 10-15 degrees. Let the dish brown for another 10 minutes, until the sausages are beautifully golden and appetizing.

7. Serving: You can serve this dish warm, alongside a fresh green salad or a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. It is a dish that is joyfully shared!

- Choose high-quality, fresh sausages for the best flavor.
- You can experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or portobello, for a more intense flavor.
