Calories: 480kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 6 small links filipino longanisa sausage or 2 links chorizo sausage sliced
- 1 shallot finely sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 8 dried figs sliced in half
- sea salt and pepper to taste
- crusty bread to serve
Instructions
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and when hot, add the olive oil.
- Add the sausage and cook until all sides are dark golden brown. If you’re using longanisa, this can happen quickly as it’s a sweet sausage and the sugars caramelize quickly.
- Turn the heat down to medium-low, add the shallot and garlic. Sauté for a few minutes or until softened slightly.
- Add the beef stock and vinegar and stir to combine. Add the figs.
- Turn the heat up to medium again and let the liquid come to a boil.
- Simmer for about 10 minutes or until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly.
- Remove from heat.
- Garnish with parsley.
- Serve with lots of crusty bread to soak up that lovely sauce.
