Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Top and tail the persimmons, then roughly chop. Finely dice the shallot. Finely dice the chilli (remove the seeds for less heat). Add all to a small frying pan with the maple syrup, three quarters of the vinegar and 125ml water. Simmer for 25-30 mins, until the fruit has softened, then mash slightly to make a chutney.
  2. Boil a kettle. Peel the parsnip. Cut the potatoes and parsnip into small chunks, place in a saucepan and cover with salted boiling water. Simmer for 15 mins, until soft, then drain and mash. Season with a pinch of sea salt.
  3. Heat a frying pan with 1 tsp oil on a medium-high heat. Add the sausages and fry for 5 mins, turning regularly, until golden brown all over. Set aside.
  4. Add the broccoli to the pan used for the sausages and fry for 5-7 minutes, until beginning to char. Remove from the heat and pour in the remaining vinegar. Season with sea salt and black pepper, then toss to coat.
  5. Add the sausages to the chutney and reheat for 2 mins. Roughly chop the walnuts and stir through the mash. Serve the mash with the broccoli and sausages. Garnish with the chutney.
