1 For fennel, radicchio and
roasted capsicum salad,
preheat oven grill to high, place
capsicum skin-side up in a
roasting pan, drizzle with oil
and grill until skin is blackened
(8-10 minutes). Transfer to a
bowl, cover with plastic wrap
and stand to soften (5 minutes).
Peel, tear into large pieces, and
combine with remaining
ingredients in a bowl.
2 Meanwhile, heat a char-grill
pan over medium heat. Drizzle
sausages with 1 tbsp olive oil
and grill, turning occasionally,
until browned and cooked
through (5-7minutes).
3 Meanwhile, to make a salsa,
process remaining ingredients
in a food processor until finely
chopped, then season to taste.
4 Toss salad with half the salsa,
season to taste and top with
fennel fronds. Serve with
sausages and remaining salsa.

Grilled pork sausages with fennel,
radicchio and roasted capsicum SERVES 4
Use a mix of red and yellow capsicum for the salad if
you have them. If you’re super-short on time, roasted
capsicum from the deli would also work well.

basil and serve with panzanella.
Roast chicken thighs with
sourdough panzanella SERVES 4
Use whatever stale sourdough you have on hand for the
panzanella – dark rye, for instance, will add extra complexity
to this simple Tuscan tomato and bread salad.
