Sausages with griddled spring onion and butter bean mash

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6. Put the free-range pork sausages in a roasting tin, put in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through.
2. Meanwhile heat a griddle pan over a medium-high heat until hot. Thinly slice the green stems of half the spring onions and set aside. Put the white bulbs and the remaining whole spring onions into a bowl and toss with the olive oil, then cook on the hot griddle pan for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until slightly charred and softened. Set aside.
3. Put the butter beans into a medium saucepan with the hot stock over a medium heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Drain, then mash with a fork or potato masher. Mash in the cream, parmesan and sliced spring onion stems. Season well. Serve the butter bean mash with the sausages and the griddled spring onions.
