- Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes until it starts to thicken and reduce.
- Add the sausages back in and cook for a further 10 minutes.
- Thickly slice and grill the sourdough.

- Serve with grilled sourdough for dipping.
Chefs tip
Frying the sausages first really helps them maintain the texture, and those caramelised notes really help the depth of flavour.
