Heat 3 tablespoons if vegetable oil. Fry the thyme, onion and garlic together for 1 minute then add in the sausages and fry until the latter are golden. Stir often to allow all sides of the sausages to brown. This will also allow the meat to absorb the Garlic and onions flavours.

Once the sausages are brown, add the marrowfat and ratatouille as well as 200ml water and black pepper (or chilli flakes). Cover to simmer for 5-10 minutes just to heat up the marrowfat and ratatouille and allow them to absorb the flavours already there. The sausages can be very salty, you might want to wait until the end before adding salt if needed).
