Sausages with redcurrant & red onion relish

Ingredients

Prep: 20 mins
Cooking: 30 mins
Serves 6-12

2 red onions, cut into thin wedges
1 small red capsicum, deseeded, cut into small chunks
1½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 birdseye chilli, deseeded, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
2.5cm piece fresh ginger, chopped
200ml red-wine vinegar
140g brown sugar
1 teaspoon five-spice powder
200g redcurrants, stripped from stalks
12 sausages

Method

1. Combine onion, capsicum and oil in a frying pan over high heat and cook for about 8 minutes, or until lightly charred and softened. Remove from pan and set aside.

2. In the same pan, combine chilli, garlic, ginger and 100ml of vinegar over high heat. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to simmer for 3 minutes. Add onion mixture and remaining vinegar, sugar, five-spice powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Return to the boil, then cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until thickened. Add redcurrants and simmer for 5 minutes, or until they start to burst and the liquid is syrupy. Pour into a heatproof jar, cover and seal while hot.

3. Grill, bake or barbecue sausages. Top with redcurrant and red onion relish and serve with green salad with hazelnut dressing on the side.
