INGREDIENTS
For the Bangers:
8 pork sausages (traditional British sausages work best)
1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Mash:
2 lbs (about 900g) potatoes, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup (120ml) milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Onion Gravy:
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups (480ml) beef broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper, to taste
PREPARATION STEPS
Cook the Sausages:
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat
Add the sausages (bangers) and cook them for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through
Once done, remove from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:
While the sausages are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil
Add the chopped potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk and butter, then mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Make the Onion Gravy:
In the same skillet used for the sausages, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat
Add the sliced onions and cook until they are soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir well to coat
Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps
Add Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper
Simmer the gravy for 5-7 minutes, or until thickened.
Serve:
Divide the mashed potatoes among plates, place the sausages on top, and generously spoon the onion gravy over everything. Serve hot and enjoy this classic comfort food!
