sausage and mash with onion gravy
- Prepare the Mash:
- Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender (about 15-20 minutes).
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Keep warm.
- Cook the Sausages:
- While the potatoes are boiling, heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil to the pan.
- Add the sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through (about 15-20 minutes). Transfer the sausages to a plate and keep warm.
- Make the Onion Gravy:
- In the same pan used to cook the sausages, add the olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted, add the sliced onions.
- Cook the onions over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown (about 10-15 minutes).
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir well to coat. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Gradually add the beef stock, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the gravy thickens (about 5-10 minutes).
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Dish:
- Place a generous portion of mashed potatoes on each plate.
- Top with two sausages per serving.
- Spoon the onion gravy over the sausages and mash.
Tips:
- Sausages: Use high-quality pork sausages for the best flavor. You can also experiment with flavored sausages like apple or herb-infused varieties.
- Gravy: For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of red wine or a teaspoon of mustard to the gravy.
- Mash: For extra creamy mashed potatoes, you can add a dollop of sour cream or a few tablespoons of cream cheese.
