🧂 Ingredients
The ProteinSausages: 2 premium Italian herb or Cumberland sausages (look for high meat content/low filler).
The Greens (Fiber Base)
Broccoli: 1 small head, cut into bite-sized florets.
Green Beans: 150g fine green beans, trimmed.
Seasoning: A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and a crack of black pepper.
The Signature Red Chili Relish
Peppers: 2 large red chilies (fresno or similar), finely minced.
Aromatics: 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1 small shallot (finely chopped).
Body: 1 tbsp tomato paste and 2 tbsp water.
Balance: 1 tsp apple cider vinegar and a pinch of salt.
🔪 Preparation Instructions
1. Sear the SausagesHeat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the sausages and cook for 12–15 minutes, turning frequently until they develop a deep golden-brown crust and are cooked through. Remove and let them rest.
2. Prepare the Greens
Steam/Blanch: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans first for 2 minutes, then add the broccoli florets for another 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp.
Shock & Season: Immediately drain and toss the vegetables in a bowl with olive oil and sea salt to keep them vibrant and glossy.
3. Craft the Chili Relish
In a small saucepan, sauté the garlic, shallots, and minced chilies in a teaspoon of oil until softened.
Stir in the tomato paste, water, and vinegar.
Simmer on low for 3–5 minutes until it reduces into a thick, jam-like consistency.
4. Professional Plating
Place a generous bed of the seasoned green beans and broccoli on one side of a matte black bowl.
Nestle the two seared sausages alongside the vegetables.
Spoon a clean line of the red chili relish over the center, bridging the gap between the greens and the protein.
