Lancashire Cheese Sausages With Onion Gravy Recipes

SAUSAGES IN ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large fry pan and fry onion until soft and golden. Remove pan from heat and add flour. Stir slowly adding water until well combined. Return to heat and bring to boil, stirring. Add beef cubes, Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, salt and pepper; mix well.
• Reduce heat and add cooked sausages. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

LANCASHIRE CHEESE SAUSAGES WITH ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• Place all the sausage ingredients except the oil in a large bowl, season well, and mix it all up with your hands. When you taste it, overseason it by about 15 per cent, so it's a bit more salty and peppery than you'd normally have - the mixture loses some of its power as it chills and cooks. Chill the mixture for two hours.
• Meanwhile, make the gravy. Heat a little oil in a pan and fry the onions, garlic and sugar over a low heat until golden. Sprinkle on the flour and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the gravy browning and stock and bring to the boil. Season, then simmer for at least 20 minutes.
• Mould the chilled sausage mix into sausage shapes - you should get about twelve decent bangers out of it, depending how big you like your sausage.
• You can either shallow-fry the sausages in a little oil or deep-fry them in a lot of oil; I think the deep-fry method brings the best out of the flavour and texture. Fry them for about five minutes until golden, then drain well on some kitchen paper and serve with the gravy.
• This fabulous grub is great with mashed potato (try it with the addition of wholegrain mustard), with a salad or in a bun smothered in ketchup, onions and mustard and served with chips.

• For the onions: Makes 600g, which is 3 batches. Prep time 5 mins, cook time 30 mins. Melt the butter in a large, deep frying pan and stir through the onions. Cover with a lid and cook gently for about 10 mins, until softened. Remove lid, add sugar, then cook 15-20 mins, stirring, until all of the liquid has evaporated and onions have turned golden. Divide into 3 batches to make the recipes, right. Will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.

CLASSIC SAUSAGE GRAVY

Steps:

• In a small frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds. Add Jimmy Dean sausage and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until browned, stirring frequently to break up the sausage into small pieces, then drain.
• Add flour and mix well with the sausage. Reduce heat to medium and add 1 cup of milk, stirring to prevent any flour lumps. Add the remaining milk and the salt and pepper. Bring heat up to medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce bubbles up to the top of the pan (do not allow it to boil over).
• Reduce heat to medium-low, stirring the sauce frequently until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
• Serve over cooked grits or biscuits, and top with green onions.
