- 1 brown onion, thinly sliced

- 1 long red chilli, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 tbs tomato paste
- 4 large vine-ripened tomatoes, chopped
- 4 thyme sprigs, leaves picked
- 1 tsp honey

Method
STEP 1
Heat a frying pan or chargrill over medium heat. Place the sausages on a clean work surface. Carefully untwist the sausage links to make one long sausage, then roll the sausage into a large spiral. Insert 2 metal or soaked bamboo skewers crossways to secure.
STEP 2
Brush the sausage with a little oil and add to the pan or grill. Cook for 8-10 mins or until browned. Turn and cook for 8 mins or until cooked through. Set aside for 5 mins to rest.
STEP 3
Meanwhile, heat 2 tbs oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 3 mins or until soft. Add the garlic and chilli, if using, and cook, stirring, for 2 mins or until aromatic. Spoon in tomato paste and chopped tomato and cook for 5 mins or until the tomato starts to soften. Add thyme sprigs, honey and 1 tbs vinegar. Season and stir to combine.
STEP 4
Combine the parsley, lemon zest, shallot, remaining vinegar, remaining oil and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
STEP 5
Arrange the sausage over the tomato mixture in the pan. Top with parsley mixture and serve with sourdough.
