Cheesy polenta with sausage ragout recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 6 pork sausages, skins removed
  • 400g can chopped tomato
  • 200ml chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp tomato purée
  • 4 rosemary sprigs, chopped
  • 200g instant polenta (available from larger supermarkets and Holland & Barrett)
  • 100g smoked cheese, grated

Method

  • Heat the oil in a large casserole dish over a medium-high heat and cook the onion and garlic for a few mins. Stir in the sausages, breaking them up into small pieces as you go, and cook for another 8-9 mins. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, stock, purée and most of the rosemary. Bring to a simmer and cook for another 8-10 mins or until the mixture is thickened. Season to taste.

  • Meanwhile, make up the polenta following pack instructions. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese, with some seasoning. Spoon the polenta onto 4 plates, then top with the ragout and a sprinkling of the remaining rosemary.
