Method

First

Firstly, make your salad by mixing together all of the salad ingredients in a bowl, and seasoning well with salt and pepper.

Second

Rub the sausage meat patty with olive oil, and be very liberal with the salt and black pepper. Pan fry for 2-3 minutes on each side over a high heat, until nicely browned and slightly crispy. Serve the salad on a plate, topped with the hot sausage patty - it’s a southern French bistro classic!

Wine Match

For the perfect wine pairing, crack open a bottle of the savoury Karatta 'Dune Thistle' Syrah 2016. This dish and this decadent red wine pairing is going to work like a dream! Yum!
