Sausages With Winter Veg Mash Recipes

BANGERS & MASH (SAUSAGE WITH ONION GRAVY)

Steps:

• Cook sausages: Heat oil in a large skillet / fry pan over medium high heat. Add sausages and cook, turning, until browned as much as possible all over and cooked through. Cook time will differ depending on sausage size - mine take around 8 minutes.
• Remove sausages onto a plate. Turn heat down to medium.
• 2 tbsp oil remaining: You need around 2 tbsp oil left in the skillet. If you have much less, add a bit of butter or oil.
• Saute onion and garlic: Add onion and garlic, cook until golden brown - around 4 minutes.
• Cook off flour 2 minutes: Add flour and mix through. Then cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
• Gradually add beef stock: Add about 3/4 cup of beef broth and mix into the onion so it becomes a sludge. Then add remaining beef broth and mix until combined. If it's lumpy, use a whisk to help make it smooth.
• Thicken gravy: Simmer, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes until the gravy thickens but is slightly thinner than you want - it will thicken more as you serve it.
• Season: Add salt and pepper. Stir, taste, then add more salt if you want.
• Serve sausages with plenty of gravy, with mashed potato and peas on the side. (Low carb option - Creamy Cauliflower Mash)

CLASSIC SAUSAGE & MASH

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the chipolatas on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 35-40 mins or until cooked through and golden.
• Put the potatoes in a large pan of water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 20 mins, drain and allow to steam-dry. Push through a potato ricer (if you have one) or mash well with a potato masher.
• Put the carrots and broccoli in a steamer set over a pan of simmering water, and steam for 6-8 mins or until just tender. Put the sweetcorn in a small pan with about 3 tbsp water and heat through for 3-5 mins.
• Warm the butter and milk in a saucepan until the butter has melted, then pour over the potatoes. Beat well until creamy, then season well. Pile the chipolatas onto the mash and top with a knob of butter so that it melts over everything. Serve with the broccoli, carrots and sweetcorn on the side.
