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.
