Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large heavy based pan, and fry sausages for about 10 mins or until browned all over.

For Oven Baked Polenta

  • Preheat oven to 180c.

  • Bake uncovered for 55 mins
  • Meanwhile, towards the end of the cooking time heat the milk in a microwave safe jug on high for 1 min.

Notes

Try to use the best quality sausages you can find - I use pork and fennel.
The polenta makes 6 generous serves.
