Sausages With Mashed Potatoes Beer And Onion Gravy And Mustard Recipes

SAUSAGES WITH MASHED POTATOES, BEER AND ONION GRAVY AND MUSTARD

Steps:

• To make the beer and onion gravy, heat the oil and the butter in a large, heavy based saucepan.
• Add the onions and sugar and cook over a low heat for 45 minutes, stirring now and then, until soft and richly caramelised.
• Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
• Stir in the beer, beef broth, star anise, cloves and bay leaves and boil vigorously until reduced to a rich, glossy sauce - about 20 minutes in a large sauté pan.
• Remove the star anise, bayleaves and cloves (if you can find them) from the gravy and season to taste with some salt and pepper.
• For the sausages and mashed potato, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 20 minutes until soft.
• Then after about 10 minutes, heat the oil for the sausages in a large frying pan.
• Add the sausages and fry them over a medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning now and then, until nicely browned and cooked through.
• Drain the potatoes and mash until smooth - a potato ricer does this really well.
• Beat in the butter with some seasoning and enough milk to make a smooth, creamy mash.
• Spoon the mashed potatoes onto warmed plates and rest the sausages alongside.
• Pour over some of the gravy and serve with a good spoonful of English mustard.

TRUE BANGERS AND MASH WITH ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Cook the sausage links in a skillet over medium-low heat until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per side; transfer to an oven-safe dish and move to the preheated oven to keep warm.
• Place potatoes into a saucepan over medium heat, cover with water, and boil gently until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Mix in 1/4 cup of butter, milk, dry mustard, salt, and black pepper; mash until fluffy and smooth. Set aside.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the onions until translucent and just starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Pour in the beef broth and red wine; boil the mixture down to about half its volume, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. To serve, place a sausage onto a serving plate with about 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes. Pour the onion gravy over the sausage and potatoes.
