Let’s make it.
- 01
Cook the sausages
Cook the sausages following their packet instructions, using the stated appliance temperature and time. Check they are cooked through; a clean thermometer should read 75°C for at least 30 seconds at the centre.
- 02
Boil the potatoes
Meanwhile, cover the potatoes with water and boil gently for 18–22 minutes until tender. Drain and mash with butter and milk. Season to taste.
- 03
Soften the onions
Heat oil in a frying pan and cook the onions over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, stirring, until soft and golden. Add the stock and simmer for 5 minutes.
- 04
Make the gravy
Mix cornflour and cold water, stir into the simmering stock and cook for 2 minutes. Season. Serve with the cooked sausages and mash.
Ingredient checks
Check every packaged ingredient for gluten-free suitability and other allergens, including stock, sauces, spices and seasoning blends. Use clean equipment and protect food from gluten cross-contamination.
Allergens: Milk; check sausages and stock.
Make it work for you
