CHILLI AND HONEY SAUSAGE BITES

Steps:

• Grill/broil the sausages until cooked. Once cooked, cut each sausage into 3 - 5 pieces, depending on sausage size and how delicate you want your 'bites' to be!
• Put the honey and chilli sauce in a pan and warm on a low heat. When it starts to lightly bubble, add the sausage pieces and toss in the sauce for a few minutes. Do not overheat or cook for a long time or the honey-chilli mix will turn to brittle toffee and you'll have burnt toffee-sausages when they cool.
• Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan on a low heat for a couple of minutes, tossing regularly. Tip the sausages into a serving bowl and sprinkle the seeds over the top. Serve slightly warm for best flavour.

• Stagger the cooking: heat half the sausages through in half the honey and mustard mix just before your guests arrive, then do the other half just as this first batch runs out.
