WAITAKI PORK & FENNEL SAUSAGES WITH POTATOES

basket 1

Method

  • Place the potatoes on a board then use a rolling pin or some other heavy object to lightly crack them
  • Sprinkle with the salt and stand for 5 minutes
  • If you can’t get hold of small potatoes to do these methods then use the smallest potatoes you can find and cut them into chunks
  • You do not have to do the rolling pin thing
  • Simply cook them in the same way as mentioned below in the recipe
  • Meanwhile, squeeze the sausage meat from its casings and break into bite-sized pieces
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a wide saucepan then add the sausage pieces
  • Fry until browned and crisp then remove from the saucepan and set aside
  • Add the remaining oil and the potatoes and fry for a few minutes then return the sausages to the saucepan
  • Cover and cook for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender, shaking the pan occasionally
  • Add the wine, capers and preserved lemon
  • Cover and remove from the heat then stand for 5 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse
  • Sprinkle with the chives or fennel tops before serving

This is one of those one pot wonders where you only need a few ingredients but it’s paramount that the ingredients are of the highest standard and flavour.
