Method
Heat your oil in a pan and tear your sausages into chunks, adding them to the pan. Fry them until crispy and golden, which should take approximately 6-8 minutes, flipping the sausage chunks a couple of times to ensure all sides get evenly cooked. Remove the sausages from the pan, trying to keep as much of the oil in the pan as possible.

Add the onion and garlic into the pan and saute for 3-5 minutes.
1 white onion, 2 garlic cloves
Add the tomato paste and the seasonings. Stir into the onions and cook down for a minute or two until the spices bloom and the tomato paste is fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.
