A base of creamy polenta is the first level. Then comes a sweet and herby onion, bell pepper & fresh rosemary relish with blistered baby tomatoes. The third level is made from golden pan-fried pork sausages. And the final flavour level is a fresh green salad with toasted almonds. It’s levels of lipsmacking flavour for dinner tonight, Chef!

TOAST
Place the almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
SAUSAGES
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sausages until browned and cooked through, 10-15 minutes (shifting as it colours). Remove from the heat and cover.
RELISH
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion and the diced peppers until slightly golden, 4-5 minutes. Add the NOMU rub and the chopped rosemary, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the quartered tomatoes and a splash of water, and fry until blistered and slightly saucy, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the heat, add a sweetener (to taste), and season.
POLENTA
Bring a pot with 350ml of water to a boil. Slowly whisk in the polenta until there are no lumps. Reduce the heat and cook until the polenta is soft and creamy, 5-8 minutes (whisking often). Remove the pot from the heat. Stir through a knob of butter, the grated cheese, the cream cheese, and seasoning. Loosen with a splash of warm water if necessary.
SOME PREP
In a salad bowl, combine the rinsed green leaves, the cheese ribbons, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
