Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 British free-range skin-on bone-in chicken thigh fillets
- 4 free-range British pork sausages, cut into 2cm chunks
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

To serve

Method
- Heat the oil in a medium flameproof casserole over a medium-high heat, then fry the chicken and sausages for 6-7 minutes until golden all over. Transfer to a plate. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes until starting to soften. Add the tomato purée and cook for 1 minute more.
