Ingredients
- 150g frozen broad beans
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 x 400g pack The Black Farmer pork sausages
- 2 shallots, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
- 1½ tbsp plain flour - use gluten free flour if required
- 250ml dry white wine
- 250ml chicken or vegetable stock (made using ½ stock pot or cube) - use gluten free stock if required
- 300g baby new potatoes, halved if large
- 1 x 175g pack baby leeks, cut into chunky slices
- 100g sugar snaps
- 100g half-fat crème fraîche
- juice of ½ lemon (use the zest in the gremolata)
- ½ x 30g pack mint, chopped
For the walnut gremolata
- 30g walnuts, toasted and finely chopped
- ½ x 30g pack parsley, leaves finely chopped
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Step by step
- Bring a small saucepan of salted water to the boil, blanch the broad beans for 2 minutes then refresh in iced water. Once cool enough to handle, pop the broad beans from their skins and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, deep frying pan and fry the sausages over a fairly high heat for 10-12 minutes, turning regularly, until well-browned all over. Remove to a board and slice each sausage thickly, on the diagonal.
- Reduce the hob to a medium heat, add the shallots to the fat left in the pan and fry for 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring.
- Stir in the flour and cook out for 1-2 minutes. Gradually stir in the wine and stock. Return the sausages to the pan, adding the potatoes, too, then cover with a lid and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are almost tender.
- Meanwhile, mix together all the ingredients for the walnut gremolata, until well combined.
-
Once the potatoes are almost tender, add the leeks and sugar snaps to the casserole. Cook, covered, for 3-4 minutes, until just cooked through. Stir through the podded broad beans, crème fraîche, lemon juice and mint and season to taste. Heat through for a minute then serve scattered with the walnut gremolata.
