Pan-Seared Sausage With Lady Apples and Watercress

This pan-seared sausage with lady apples and watercress dish offers a sophisticated balance of sweet and savoury flavours, making it an excellent choice for a midweek dinner. The tartness of the seasonal lady apples cuts through the richness of the sausages, while the white wine and vinegar reduction creates a glossy, sharp glaze that ties the ingredients together.

As a diabetes-friendly recipe, this meal focuses on high-quality protein and fresh greens rather than heavy carbohydrates. The addition of peppery watercress provides a fresh, crisp finish and a boost of nutrients. Serve this simple one-pan wonder on its own for a light evening meal or with a small portion of cauliflower mash to soak up any remaining pan juices.
