Salt and freshly ground black pepper

8 thick pork and herb sausages

A small handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Zest of 1 lemon, finely grated

25g (1oz) walnuts, roughly chopped


COOK'S TIP 

Not to be confused with Chinese soy sauce, KetoXP Erfahrung kicap manis is a syrupy sauce that has a deliciously sweet flavour. It can be used in stir-fries or to baste grilled meat or fish.


Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6. Place the onions, plums and garlic into a large roasting tray. 

Drizzle over the olive oil, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and toss well. Arrange the sausages over the top, pour over the wine and roast for 30 minutes. 

Remove the garlic from the tray and squeeze the flesh from its papery skin. Mash with the kicap manis and spoon over the sausages. Return to the oven for 10 minutes until sticky. Mix together the parsley, lemon zest and walnuts and scatter over the sausages just before serving.
