Khanya’s giant pigs in a blanket

Wrap the pork sausage in streaky bacon, ensuring it doesn't have to be neat or perfect.

Preheat the oven to 210 degrees Celsius.

Drizzle a little olive oil over the wrapped sausage.

Sprinkle a generous amount of black pepper on top.

Add a little salt to taste.

Scatter mixed herbs over the sausage.

Arrange shallots around the sausage for a roasty feel.

Scatter fresh figs around for presentation.

Drizzle more olive oil on the shallots to prevent dehydration.

Place the wrapped sausage in the oven for about 30 minutes.

Prepare the fig jam glaze by mixing two heaped spoons of fig jam with water and some herbs.

Heat the glaze on the stove until it reaches a runny but syrupy consistency.

Brush the glaze onto the sausages after they are cooked.

Return the sausages to the oven on the grill setting to achieve a sticky glazed exterior.

Carefully remove the sausages from the oven and transfer them to a plate.

Finish with fresh sage for garnish.
