Sausages with Creamy Mash & Onion Gravy



This is one of my family's favourite meal. A healthy meal of Sausages with Creamy Mash & Onion Gravy.
Trust me, I make a mean Onion Gravy....
Ingredients: - Onion Gravy

- 40g butter
- 3 Onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- 2 cups (500ml) chicken / beef stock
- 1/2 cup (125ml) dry white wine (I can't tell the difference from dry or wet; I just use white wine)
- 2 tsps Dijon mustard
- 3 tsps soft brown sugar
- 1 tsp thyme
Ingredients: - Creamy Mash

- 4 large potatoes, peeled
- 1/2 cup (125ml) milk
- 30g butter, cut into cubes


1) Heat oil in large frying pan. Cook sausages over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until browned.
2) Remove to a plate and keep warm.
3) To make onion gravy, melt the butter in the same frying pan, add onions and cook over low heat for 15 mins or until golden.
4) Add garlic and cook for 30 secs. Stir in flour and cook over low heat for 1 min to brown.
5) Remove the pan from the heat and gradually add the stock and wine. Return to the heat and bring to boil.
6) Stir in the mustard, sugar and thyme; and then reduce the heat and simmer gently, stirring occasionally until gravy thickens.
7) Season to taste with pepper.
8) Add sausages to the gravy and simmer for another 5-8 minutes.
9) Meanwhile, cut the potatoes into chunks and boil for 10 mins or until cooked through
10) Drain well and return potatoes back to the saucepan, stirring for 20 secs under low fire until the excess moisture is removed.
11) Add hot milk to the potato and mash until lump-free.
12) Add butter and stir in until potato is smooth and creamy.
13) Season well.
14) Serve the sausages and gravy over the mashed potato with salad or steamed vegetables.
