Method

Step 1

Prepare all ingredients as indicated above. Boil the kettle.

Step 2

Fry the onion with some olive oil and a pinch of salt over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the garlic, rosemary, chilli powder and tomato paste and cook for another 1 minute. Add the beef sausage meat and brown for 3-5 minutes. Then add the tomatoes, water and sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook for another 10 minutes, until the sausage is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Season to taste. Add the swiss chard and cook for another 1 minute until wilted.

Step 3

For the polenta, pour the boiling water and stock into a small pot. Bring it up to a gentle simmer and add the polenta, using a whisk (or a wooden spoon) stir the polenta until it thickens, about 1 minute. Add a knob of butter and grated cheddar and season to taste. If it is too thick, add more boiling water until your desired consistency is reached. As the polenta cools it will thicken again, you can just stir in more boiling water to loosen it again. Season to taste.

Step 4

Immediately serve the polenta with the ragout spooned on top. Sprinkle over some parmesan and a fresh crack of black pepper.
