Ingredients:
For the Relish:
500g tomatoes, halved
4 garlic cloves
2 red chillies, stems removed
2cm length of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
250g sugar
100ml red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp sea salt
8 Cumberland sausages
1/2 iceberg lettuce, finely shredded
2 baguettes, each sliced into 4 pieces and cut open
Method:
Begin with the relish. Combine half the tomatoes in a food processor with the chillies, garlic and ginger. Pulse until pureed then turn into a saucepan along with the sugar, vinegar and sea salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Chop the remaining tomatoes and add these to the pan then bring to a simmer and cook for about 45 minutes, or until the mixture is thick. stirring occasionally. Take off the heat and pour into a bowl then set aside to cool.
Cook the sausages for about 10 minutes under a grill pre-heated to medium, turning them occasionally. After this time brush each sausage with a little of the relish and continue cooking for a further 2 or 3 minutes, or until the sausages are thoroughly cooked and lightly glazed.
Open the baguettes lengthways then fill with the shredded lettuce. Place the sausage on top, add a generous dollop of the relish and serve.
