1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pork sausages and chorizo slices and cook, turning, for 10 to 12 minutes until the sausages reach 160°F (71°C) in the thickest part. Move the sausages to a plate and keep the chorizo in the pan.

2. Core the cooking apple half and cut it into thin wedges. Add the wedges and soft brown sugar to the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, turning occasionally, until caramelised.

3. Pour in the white wine and simmer for 2 minutes until slightly reduced. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

4. Meanwhile, heat a grill pan over high heat. Snap the woody ends off the asparagus, then grill for 3 to 4 minutes, turning, until charred and tender. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

5. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry small pan over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, shaking often, until golden.

6. Serve the sausages and chorizo with the caramelised apple and grilled asparagus, sprinkling the toasted sesame seeds over the sausages.
