Ingredients you'll need
  • 4 tofu herb grill sausages
  • 1 sweet potato
  • 1 potato
  • 3 spring onions
  • 50g sweet salad mix
  • 2 vine tomatoes
  • 1 lemon
From your kitchen
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
You'll need
  • Medium pan with lid
  • Frying pan
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Fill and boil your kettle. Peel the sweet potato and the potato. Chop them into large chunks and place in a pan. Add a pinch of salt, then cover with hot water from the kettle. Pop on the lid. Bring up to a boil, then simmer for 10 mins till the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.

  • 2.

    Meanwhile, cook the tofu sausages. Place a frying pan on a medium heat for 1 min, then drizzle in ½ tbsp olive oil. Add the sausages and fry for 6-8 mins, turning them every couple of mins, till they are golden all over. When the sausages are cooked, take off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or baking tray to keep them warm.

  • 3.

    Meanwhile, finely grate the zest from the lemon into a large bowl and squeeze in the juice from half the lemon. Add ½ tbsp olive oil and some salt and pepper. Whisk together to make a dressing.

  • 4.

    Chop the tomatoes into small chunks and add to the dressing. Tip in the salad leaves but leave them so they are sitting on top of the tomatoes – don't mix them in just yet. Set to one side.

  • 5.

    Trim the roots and any ragged green leaves from the spring onions, then finely slice the spring onions.

  • 6.

    Drain the potatoes and shake them dry, then tip them back into the pan. Mash till smooth with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Add the spring onions and mix. Pop the lid back on the pan to keep the champ warm.

  • 7.

    Toss the salad together. Spoon the sweet potato champ on to a couple of warmed plates and top with a couple of sausages each. Serve with the zesty tomato salad on the side.
