Sausage, Mustard Mash, Peas and Onion Gravy 😋

A classic British comfort-food meal featuring juicy sausages, creamy mustard mashed potatoes, sweet peas, and rich onion gravy.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

Sausages

• 8 pork sausages
• 1 tbsp oil

Mustard Mash

• 2 lb (900 g) potatoes, peeled and cubed
• ¼ cup (60 g) butter
• ½ cup (120 ml) milk
• 1–2 tbsp wholegrain or Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste

Peas

• 2 cups frozen peas

Onion Gravy

• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp flour
• 2 cups beef or chicken stock
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Boil the potatoes until tender, about 15–20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, cook the sausages in a skillet with the oil over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 12–15 minutes.
3. For the gravy, melt the butter and cook the onions over medium-low heat until deeply golden and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
4. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
5. Gradually whisk in the stock and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer until thickened.
6. Drain the potatoes and mash with the butter, milk, mustard, salt, and pepper.
7. Cook the peas according to package directions.
8. Serve the sausages on a bed of mustard mash, add peas on the side, and generously spoon over the onion gravy.

Tips

• Use Cumberland or other good-quality pork sausages for authentic flavor.
• Wholegrain mustard adds texture, while Dijon gives a smoother finish.
• For extra-rich gravy, add a splash of dark ale while simmering.

This hearty dish is often known as a variation of traditional “bangers and mash” and is perfect for a cozy family dinner. 🥔🌭🧅✨
