Ingredients
- 1 red onion, in thin wedges
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 3-4 thyme sprigs
- 1 garlic clove, sliced
- 4 pork and herb sausages (we used reduced fat)
- 5g (1 tsp) butter
- 2 tsp plain flour
- 250ml hot beef stock
- 1 tsp tomato purée
- a good splash of Worcestershire sauce
- a handful of parsley, chopped
For the root vegetable mash
- 1 large parsnip, chopped
- 1 large carrot, chopped
- 150g wedge of swede, chopped
- 50ml milk
- 10g (2 tsp) butter
Step by step
- Sauté the red onion in the oil in a small casserole for 5 minutes over a medium heat, until it starts to soften. Stir in the thyme and garlic, season; cook for 1 minute. Remove to a plate.
- Add the sausages to the pan and brown on each side; return the onions, add the butter and flour. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Slowly add the stock, stirring to make a smooth sauce. Stir in the tomato purée and Worcestershire sauce.
- Put the lid on, bring to a gentle simmer; reduce the heat to low. Cook, covered, for 20-25 minutes, stirring every now and then.
- Meanwhile, put the root veg in a pan, cover them with cold water and add salt. Put a lid on; bring to the boil. Simmer for 20-25 minutes until the veg are tender. Drain, then tip them back into the pan; leave for a minute or so to steam dry. Add the milk and butter; season and mash.
- Serve with the sausages and gravy, parsley and your choice of green veg.
