Method
Ingredients out • Kettle boiled • Large casserole pan, high heat • Small frying pan, high heat • Large lidded pan, high heat • Food processor (thick slicer)
START COOKING
- Squeeze the sausage meat out of the skins into the casserole pan with the fennel seeds and rosemary leaves (discard the sausage skins). Break the meat apart, stirring regularly.
- Finely slice the bacon, put into the small frying pan with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and the hazelnuts and cook until golden, then add the maple syrup or honey and remove from the heat.
- Line the beans up and cut off the stalks, then put them into the large pan, cover with boiling salted water and the lid. Cook for 4 minutes, then add the greens, tearing up any larger leaves.
- Pour the wine into the sausage pan and let it bubble away while you check on the beans and greens. If done, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a colander to drain, leaving the pan of water on the heat.
- Tear the broccoli tips into the sausage pan, then slice and add the stalks, along with the passata.
- Add the gnocchi to the pan of water the greens were cooked in and pop the lid on.
- Mix the extra virgin olive oil, vinegar and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper in a serving bowl, tip in the drained greens and toss to coat, then scatter over the crispy nuts and bacon.
- When the gnocchi have been floating for a couple of minutes, drain them and toss with the sauce. Season to taste and serve in the pan, or on a nice platter, drizzled with yoghurt.
