Ingredients (9)

  • 750g thin chicken sausages
  • 400g canned chickpeas, rinsed, drained
  • 3 small nectarines, cut into wedges
  • 1 1/2 loosely packed cups baby basil leaves
  • 1 loosely packed cup parsley leaves

Redcurrant sauce

  • 1 small eschalot, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) red wine vinegar
  • 2/3 cup (160ml) reduced-salt chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup redcurrant jam

Method

  • 1.
    Heat a lightly oiled chargrill or barbecue over medium-high heat. Cook the sausages for about 8-10 minutes, turning, until browned all over and cooked through. Remove from the heat and slice in half on the diagonal.

    You should be left with about 1/3 cup of sauce.

    Place the chickpeas, nectarines and herbs in a bowl, and toss to combine.
