Method

Step 1

Squeeze the sausage meat from the skins, then use wet hands to form it into 20 or so small meatballs.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan, season the meatballs with salt and pepper and cook over a high heat for 1 minute to seal, turning regularly. This ensures they will stick together when cooked in the slow cooker.

Step 3

Add the meatballs to the slow cooker with the garlic, mustard, thyme and 200ml of boiling water or chicken stock and let it do its thing on high for 3–4 hours or low for 7–8 hours.

Step 4

Once cooked, stir in the cream and the spinach to wilt. If the sauce looks thin, add 1 tablespoon of cornflour mixed with a little water to thicken it. Serve and enjoy!

Ingredients

8–10 reduced-fat pork sausages

4 garlic cloves, crushed

3 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp dried thyme

100ml double cream

2 handfuls of baby spinach leaves
