Do you crave a Western dish but don't have time much time to cook? I'll recommend you to try sausage and mash! Here's a simple recipe.
Ingredients:
For the Sausages:- 8 high-quality sausages (pork, beef, or a mix)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 lbs (900 g) potatoes, peeled and chopped into chunks
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk or cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (480 ml) beef or chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the Sausages:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sausages and cook them, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides (about 10 minutes).
- Transfer the sausages to a baking dish and finish cooking them in the oven for another 10-15 minutes, or until fully cooked through.
- Make the Mashed Potatoes:
- While the sausages are cooking, place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Add the butter and milk (or cream) to the potatoes, and mash until smooth and creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
- Prepare the Onion Gravy:
- In the same skillet you used for the sausages, add the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized (about 10-15 minutes).
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir well to coat.
- Gradually add the stock, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, thyme (if using), and season with salt and pepper.
- Simmer the gravy for another 5-10 minutes until thickened.
- Serve:
- Plate the mashed potatoes and place the sausages on top.
- Generously pour the onion gravy over the sausages and mash.
