The simplicity of this sticky sausage recipe gives the harissa paste a chance to shine, with the sweet and sharp flavours of the pomegranate complementing the richness of the sausages. It may be worth making extra onions as they work really well in a sandwich or cheese toastie.

30g unsalted butter, cubed
6 pork sausages (400g)
1 large red onion, finely sliced
1 tsp sea salt flakes
2 clove/s garlic, crushed
1 tbsp dark brown sugar
2 tbsp Ottolenghi Pomegranate, Rose & Preserved Lemon Harissa
Hot dog buns, toasted, to serve (optional)
Dill pickles, roughly chopped, plus mustard, crispy onions and salted crisps, to serve (optional)

Preheat the grill to high. Put a large, nonstick, ovenproof frying pan over a high heat, and add ½ of the butter. When hot and bubbling, add the sausages and colour them on all sides for 3-4 minutes; transfer to a plate and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-high and add the rest of the butter, followed by the onion and salt; cook for 4 minutes until soft, stirring often. Add the garlic and sugar and caramelise for a further 3 minutes until sticky and dark. Stir in the harissa and mix to combine. Return the sausages to the pan, nestling them in, and put the pan under the grill for 5 minutes until there is no pink meat and the juices run clear.
Remove the pan and set aside to cool for a couple of minutes. Serve in toasted hot dog buns with toppings of your choice.
