Risotto with crumbled and fried sausages.

Risotto with pork and fennel sausage and burrata

Italian-style pork and fennel sausages are a bit of a mainstay at my house. They're great grilled and served with mash or in a roll with sauerkraut, but I also love to use the meat just popped out of its casing. Crumbled and fried, it makes for a deliciously quick ragu and is stunning in a risotto. Please go to the effort of buying quality sausages from a good butcher, though; it makes all the difference.

Spiced lentil and vegetable pasties

Layering the lentils and vegetables in one pot and then cooking them over a low heat seals in their flavours, softening them just enough to make the perfect, pliable filling. Use a store-bought pastry if you prefer (either puff or shortcrust) but try to get a wholemeal variety for its pleasingly nutty texture and flavour.
