Ingredients
  

Bangers

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 8 VWG pork sausages
  • Small knob of butter
  • 3 onions finely sliced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 sprig of thyme
  • 1 heaped tsp plain flour
  • A pinch of sugar
  • 1 glass of red wine
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 400 ml beef stock
  • 1 tsp soy sauce

Mash

  • 1 kg peeled and cubed potatoes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ cup hot milk
  • ⅓ cup softened butter
  • 6-8 fresh garlic cloves
  • ¼ cup parmesan
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley as garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C, heat oil in a frying pan, cooking the sausages over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes on each side until browned.
  • Transfer to a plate and then add butter to the pan.
  • Add onions and stir until softened, then add thyme sprig, sugar, and bay leaf.
  • Place sausage on top and roast for another 20 minutes, turning sausage halfway.
  • In the meantime, make the mash by peeling and cubing potatoes and placing them in a pot with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Add a tablespoon of the butter in a small pan over medium to high heat.
  • Saute the garlic in the butter for about a minute.
  • Drain potatoes and add the butter, hot milk, cooked garlic, and sour cream.
  • Mash it all up until smooth, adding extra milk if needed.
  • Finally, mix in parmesan cheese, season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • When sausages are ready, remove them from the oven and place them in a tray. Put the pan back on the heat, stirring the onions. Cook them a bit more until they caramelise, add flour, and splash in vinegar, simmering it all for about a minute.
  • Now add the red wine and soy sauce until it bubbles down to a sticky paste.
  • Pour over stock for a couple of minutes until it forms a gravy.
  • Serve sausages over warm mash with as much gravy as you like!
  • Bon appétit!
