Chunky Bean and Sausage Salad

• White beans
• A couple of sausages
• Salad stuff
• Noodles


This was meant to be ‘sausage and white bean salad’ but I chucked in a whole load of julienned veg like carrot and daikon, as well as beans, lettuce and a bunch of noodles. Squeeze the sausage out of its casing and fry like savoury mince, mix with the beans, flavour as you wish (we went Oriental on this one with chilli and coriander but depends what you feel like). Together with the noodles makes a great lunch.

Grilled sausages, squash and sweet potato with salsa

Pretty straightforward stuff but thought I'd whack it on as it's always nice. Looks sparse to say the least on the plate but actually turned out to be extremely filling.

You'll need:
Sausages, some butternut squash and some sweet potato, a bit of thyme, and stuff for the salsa.

• Peel the squash and the potato, season and dress with olive oil and some fresh thyme. Introduce to barbie.
• Slightly later, introduce the sausages to the barbie as well.
• Meanwhile, prep the salsa - I think this day it consisted of finely diced tomatoes, yellow peppers, scallions, a bit of fresh basil, and later I mixed in some chili just to spice things up (but left it out of Lara's).
• Serve.
