Preparation

Step 1

Heat the chile oil in a skillet and add the sausages, separating the links and letting them fry for about 5 minutes until they are colored.
Add the Marsala and let the pan bubble for a minute or so, then pour the tomato chile sauce and water over the sausages.
Simmer for 15 minutes while you get on with making up the instant polenta according to package instructions only using chicken stock (from a bouillon cube or concentrate) rather than just water.
When the polenta's cooked, whisk in 2 Tbsp. of olive oil. Divide the polenta among 6 warmed plates and top with the sausages and hot tomato sauce. If you have more sauce than you need per plate, just pour it into a little pitcher for people to add as they want.
