In a pan quickly brown the
sausages on all sides in the oil. Add
the onions, carrots and leeks and
gently saute until softened, but not
browned. Stir in the flour and cook
on a slow heat until the oil is
absorbed. Slowly add the stock,
and bring to the boil, stirring
continuously until thickened. Stir in
the chutney, worcestershire sauce
and seasoning. Transfer all the
ingredients to the crock pot and
place in the slow cooker base.
Cover with the lid and cook for
approx. 5-8 hours. If the sausages
contain a lot of fat, any excess can
be removed from the surface of the
finished dish with kitchen paper.

60g raisins
35g flaked almonds
5 tbsp caster sugar
