Ingredients
1/2 tbsp oil
8 sausages (beef sausages)
1 large onion, halved and finely sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tbsp plain flour
2 cups beef stock/broth, low sodium
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Mashed potatoes (to serve)
Peas (to serve)
Instructions
Cooking the Sausages
Heat the Oil: Heat 1/2 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the Sausages: Add the sausages to the skillet. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
Remove the Sausages: Once cooked, transfer the sausages to a plate and set aside. Leave around 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet.
Making the Onion Gravy
Sauté the Onions and Garlic: Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook over medium heat until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 4 minutes.
Cook the Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly to form a roux.
Add the Broth: Gradually add the beef broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Start by adding a small amount to form a paste, then slowly add the remaining broth while stirring.
Simmer the Gravy: Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the gravy thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Season the Gravy: Add salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serving
Plate the Dish: Serve the sausages on a plate with a generous portion of mashed potatoes and peas.
Top with Gravy: Spoon the onion gravy over the sausages and mashed potatoes.
Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy this comforting, hearty meal.
