1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the sausages and onion and fry for 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the sausages are browned. Pour in the wine, let it bubble for a few seconds, then stir in the passata and olives. Cook gently for 10-15 minutes, adding a little water if it gets too dry.
2. Meanwhile, put the polenta in a saucepan with 1 litre water and the stock granules or crumbled cube. Bring to the boil, stirring often, then simmer for 5 minutes (continue stirring) until it is thick and creamy. Stir in the butter. Serve topped with the sausages and onion sauce, with the parsley scattered over.

Know-how

Soft polenta, like mashed potato, is the perfect comfort food. Use quick-cook polenta, so it's ready to serve in 10 minutes.
