Method

  1. Heat the 2 tbsp oil in a lidded heavy-based pan and gently fry the shallots, covered, for 10 minutes until golden and softened, stirring occasionally.
  2. In a large frying pan, heat a little more oil over a high heat. Fry the sausages until well browned.
  3. Meanwhile, add the garlic to the shallot pan with the butter and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then gradually stir in the wine and stock, adding amounts alternately. Bring to the boil, then add the chicken, sausages, squash and rosemary.
  4. Turn to a simmer, then cover with a lid and cook gently for 45 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Serve in bowls, topped with a good sprinkling of chopped fresh flat leaf parsley, alongside some steamed rice or crusty bread.

  1. To freeze leftover squash, peel and chop, then freeze the pieces raw in a single layer on a tray for 2 hours before storing in freezer proof containers or bags. Add to stews straight from frozen.

  2. Make up to 3 days ahead. Keep in a sealed container in the fridge. Reheat to serve, adding parsley at the end. Freeze for up to 3 months, tightly sealed in a freezer bag or freezer proof container. Defrost before reheating.

  3. You could replace the sausages in step 2 with chopped cooking chorizo (about 200g) if you like the spicy hit of smoked paprika.
