Ingredients
- 4 pork sausages (check your sausages are gluten-free, if required)
- 150g broccoli florets
- 1 x 400g tin cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- zest of 1⁄2 lemon, plus 1⁄2 tbsp juice
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 2 spring onions, sliced
- 80g lighter crème fraîche
- 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 1 tbsp chopped chives
Step by step
- Place a baking tray in the oven and preheat to 220°C, fan 200°C, gas 7. Add the sausages to the hot tray and roast for 22-25 minutes, turning halfway.
- Meanwhile, boil the broccoli in salted water for 5 minutes. Add the beans and cook for a further 2 minutes. Drain and leave to steam dry for 2 minutes.
-
Tip into a processor, add the lemon zest and juice, garlic and spring onions, then pulse to a rough mash. Return to the pan, season and keep warm, covered with a lid.Good to knowWhite beans make a speedy, more nutritious alternative to potato mash, and broccoli boosts the fibre and iron content further. The broccolini mash works well with steak, fish or vegetarian sausages, too.
- In a small pan, gently heat the crème fraîche and mustard with 1 tablespoon water, then stir through the chives. Season with black pepper.
- Divide the broccolini mash between two plates and serve with the sausages and mustardy crème fraîche.
