Hey guys, Curtis Stone here, listen I know we’re all stuck at home and we’re looking for great inspiration that’s quick, simple, delicious and also affordable. I got a recipe tonight that you are absolutely going to love. It’s my beef garlic and herb sausages. The flavour is unbelievable. Let’s get started.
You get a hot pan, and you get these beautiful sausages, drop ‘em in, you’ll hear them sizzle straight away, that’s what you want. And then just give them a really light drizzle of oil. While that happens, now it’s just two or three minutes, so you’re gonna have to think fast. We’re gonna do all the veg prep, and what I’m going to do is peel my carrot, and dice it. Because we are cooking with chickpeas, I sort of think all the other vegetable should be about the same size. I don’t know why I feel like that, but I do.
Next we take a shallot, an onion will do just the same, whatever you’ve got in the house. I don’t know about you, when I’m cooking, the smells that are created, they get me going, they get me really excited.
The garlic, all I do is give it a little tap with my knife like that to get rid of the skin, and then I hit it again to squash it right down and then I just go through and roughly chop it. Let’s turn those sausages. Once you’ve got a little colour on the sausages, that’s it. So I’m going to pull them out, you’ll notice there’ll be quite a bit of oil and that’s ok. I’m just actually gonna pour that fat straight back over the sausages, and then whatever residual oil is left in the pan, is what we’re going to use to cook our vegetables. Shallots which is the first thing we are gonna put in.
Right, time to add the garlic. Throw in your carrots, season it with that smoked paprika. Right we give those carrots a couple of minutes and then we add the chickpeas. Give that a little stir and toss in your chicken stock.
Then I go ahead and grab that beautiful baby spinach, use as much as you like, remember, whatever you add in, it’s going shrink down pretty quick. Beautiful great way to get veggies in to you kids diet too.
MONKEY NOISES
Speaking of kids, hear that? I think one of them is pretending to be a monkey. I tell ya, once they smell it, they start going crazy, it’s a real thing.
Ok, so once that spinach starts to wilt on down you wanna do put those beautiful sausages back. I’m gonna finish with a little bit of finishing salt. Another four or five minutes, dinners ready. This is the moment, it’s the best time of the day. Dinners done, invite your family through to the dinner table.
I tell ya what, sitting around that dinner table, have the conversations with each other, there’s nothing better.
It is a one pot wonder, so all you do is pick that up and take it straight through to the dinner table. Enjoy!
