Method

  1. Splash a little oil in a frying pan and cook the sausages according to pack instructions, for about 10 mins, until just browned all over. Take them out of the pan and leave to cool on a plate. Pour the oil into a small pot and keep it.
  2. When ready to serve, heat a griddle pan until really hot. Cut the sausages in half lengthways and heat them through, cut side down on the griddle for a couple of mins, to char on the ridges.
  3. Meanwhile, add the spinach to a hot pan, cover and let it wilt — for a couple of minutes. Drain well.
  4. Spoon spinach onto the plates, and put the chorizo on top. Grind black pepper over and drizzle with the chorizo oil.
