Honey-glazed duck sausages

By Clement Pedro

Serves 4 as a side

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes, plus overnight pickling time

Cooking Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

For the curried pickled onions:

250 g Woolworths peeled baby onions
2 cups white wine vinegar
¾ cup water
50 g sugar
3 bay leaves
10 curry leaves
1 T ground turmeric
3 T yellow mustard seeds
salt, to taste
4 T canola oil, plus 3 T for frying
1 x 7 cm piece ginger, peeled and cut into thin strips
400 g Woolworths free-range duck sausages
4 T Woolworths wild blossom honey

Method

1. To make the pickled onions, place the onions in a small saucepan with the remaining ingredients. Bring to a gentle simmer over a medium heat, then cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure each onion is submerged. Remove from the heat and cool slightly before transferring to a dish with a lid. Chill or allow to stand at room temperature overnight.

2. Heat 4 T canola oilin a pan over a medium heat. Add the ginger strips and fry until they start to firm, about 30 seconds. Remove from the pan and drain on kitchen paper – the ginger will become crispy as it cools. Set aside until serving.

3. Heat the remaining oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook, turning often, until golden – about 15 minutes.

4. Reduce the heat slightly and drizzle the honey into the pan. Toss the sausages to coat evenly, cooking until the honey has reduced slightly. Serve the sausages with the pickled onions, sprinkled with the crispy ginger.
