Sausage and Mash

[Daemon09]

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

For the Mashed Potatoes:

• 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

For the Onion Gravy:

• 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:​

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Serve:
   • Plate the mashed potatoes and place the sausages on top.
   • Generously pour the onion gravy over the sausages and mash.

Enjoy your hearty and comforting Sausage and Mash! This dish pairs beautifully with steamed vegetables or a crisp green salad.
