This is the sort of meal I really love, unfussy and fulfilling. I think this is a pretty bog standard approach.
Ingredients
- good quality sausages (not low fat)
- 250g potato
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- some whole milk
- 1 and a half red onions
- stock cube
- plain flour
- frozen peas
Method
Sausages
Fry the sausages without using any oil or fat, they should have a reasonable amount in them already and you want to leave some charring on the pan.
Slice the onions into half moons, and fry them gently.
Once the sausages are done leave them in the oven at a low temperature to keep warm.
Tip the onions into the pan that was cooking the sausages. Add a tablespoon or two of the flour, and cook for a couple of minutes.
Add a little of the stock at a time to the pan, mixing into the flour to stop it going lumpy. Turn up the heat so that the stock reduces, and stir it frequently.
Mashed Potato
Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks that are of roughly equal size.
Boil them for about 10-12 minutes, until they fall off a fork when you stick it in one.
Drain the potatoes and let them sit for a minute or two.
Put them back into the pan with a chunk of butter, the mustard and mash. Add milk as you go to make it creamy.
Assemble
Put the gravy on the sausages, and add some peas.
