Method
- Heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7. Put the sausages and onions in a 23cm ovenproof frying pan. Season and add a few fresh thyme sprigs and 1 tbsp olive oil. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Mix the polenta, caster sugar, bicarbonate of soda, plain flour and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Add the buttermilk and egg and, using a wooden spoon, beat until smooth.
- Remove the sausages and onions from the pan and melt the unsalted butter in it. Add most of the polenta mix, then top with the sausages and onions, browned-side down. Spoon over the rest of the mix and bake for 20-25 minutes. Serve on its own, scattered with fresh thyme, or with a fresh tomato pasta sauce.
