- Meanwhile, heat 1tbsp oil in a saucepan and gently cook the onion, stirring, occasionally for about 15 mins until tender. Mix in the beans and plenty of seasoning and heat through, stirring, for 3-4 mins.
- Just before serving, mix the remaining oil with the lemon juice and sugar. Remove the beans from the heat and stir in the tomatoes and rocket.
- Pile the beans onto warm serving plates and spoon over the oil and lemon dressing. Halve the sausages lengthways and place on top of the beans. Serve warm with shavings of Parmesan and lemon wedges.
