Spiedino of sausages with dandelion and canellini beans by Theo Randall at the InterContinental Park Lane
Cook at Home
Here is a great summer dish from the great Theo Randall. For this recipe it is important that you use fat, well-seasoned Tuscan sausages, which are made with a combination of cured and fresh meat. You can get them from most Italian delis. The bread on the rosemary sticks goes really crispy from the sausage fat and tastes great.
