Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200°C

  • Using the sausage pan and its oil, fry peppers along with garlic and crushed fennel for 15 minutes until starting to collapse and gain colour. Season with salt as frying.
  • Remove tomatoes from oven and transfer to a blender. Add chicken stock and blend until smooth.
  • Pour sauce over peppers, bring to the boil then cover and turn to simmer. Let the tomato pepper sauce slowly cooking down for 25 – 30 minutes until peppers are soft and juicy.
  • Cut sausages in half lengthways and add to the tomato peppers sauce. Keep on a very low leat to warm the sausages into the sauce but not to overcook them. Taste and season with salt and pepper as necessary.
  • Prepare the polenta: Bring chicken stock to the boil and gently whisk in the polenta. Turn to medium-low heat and continue to stir every minute or so until smooth and creamy, approx 10 minutes. Remove from heat, stir through butter, add parmesan, and season with salt and pepper.
