Sticky spiced sausage & plum traybake

Preheat the oven to 220ºC, gas mark 7. In a large roasting tin, combine the sausages, onions, garlic and star anise; coat with the oil and five spice. Roast on the top shelf of the oven for 20 minutes.

Add the four and give everything a turn to coat, then return to the oven for 5 minutes. Add the stock, vinegar and beans to the tin. Stir to combine, season, sit the plums on top and bake for another 18-20 minutes until the sausages are cooked through, no pink meat remains and the sauce has thickened. Nestle in the cavolo nero and cook for a final 3-5 minutes, until tender. Serve with a generous grinding of black pepper.
