Best 6 Bangers And Mash With Creamed Onion Sauce Recipes

BANGERS & MASH (SAUSAGE WITH ONION GRAVY)

Steps:

• Cook sausages: Heat oil in a large skillet / fry pan over medium high heat. Add sausages and cook, turning, until browned as much as possible all over and cooked through. Cook time will differ depending on sausage size - mine take around 8 minutes.
• Remove sausages onto a plate. Turn heat down to medium.
• 2 tbsp oil remaining: You need around 2 tbsp oil left in the skillet. If you have much less, add a bit of butter or oil.
• Saute onion and garlic: Add onion and garlic, cook until golden brown - around 4 minutes.
• Cook off flour 2 minutes: Add flour and mix through. Then cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
• Gradually add beef stock: Add about 3/4 cup of beef broth and mix into the onion so it becomes a sludge. Then add remaining beef broth and mix until combined. If it's lumpy, use a whisk to help make it smooth.
• Thicken gravy: Simmer, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes until the gravy thickens but is slightly thinner than you want - it will thicken more as you serve it.
• Season: Add salt and pepper. Stir, taste, then add more salt if you want.
• Serve sausages with plenty of gravy, with mashed potato and peas on the side. (Low carb option - Creamy Cauliflower Mash)

TRUE BANGERS AND MASH WITH ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

• Place potatoes into a saucepan over medium heat, cover with water, and boil gently until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Mix in 1/4 cup of butter, milk, dry mustard, salt, and black pepper; mash until fluffy and smooth. Set aside.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the onions until translucent and just starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Pour in the beef broth and red wine; boil the mixture down to about half its volume, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. To serve, place a sausage onto a serving plate with about 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes. Pour the onion gravy over the sausage and potatoes.

• Place onions, rosemary and a bit of salt in a small saucepan and cover with 1 cup water.
• Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat immediately.
• Cover and cook, stirring once or twice, for about 15 minutes until the onions are very soft, uncoloured and most of the liquid has disappeared.
• Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut into chunks.
• Rinse and boil in lots of salted water.
• Also, smear the sausages with oil, then place in a casserole dish and cook in the oven for about 30 minutes, turning half way through.
• Finish the onion sauce by boiling hard if necessary to get rid of any extra water.
• Discard the rosemary stalk, sift the flour over the top and stir.
• Add the mustard and 1 cup of the milk.
• Simmer gently for at least five minutes to cook the flour and make a thick, creamy sauce.
• Make the mash by draining the potatoes, adding the remaining milk and butter and mashing until smooth.
• Whip with a wooden spoon to make the mash light and fluffy, adding extra butter or milk if it's too thick.
• Divide onto plates, top with the sausages and a generous spoonful of gravy.

BANGERS AND MASH WITH GOLDEN ONIONS

Steps:

• Blanch the bangers in simmering water until they are just firm when squeezed, drain well and set aside.
• Peel and dice the spuds into even pieces and cook them in lightly salted water until they are tender.
• Drain the potatoes well.
• Bring the milk to the boil and mash the spuds, gradually adding the hot milk. Season to taste, and set aside.
• Heat the oil and butter in a large non-stick pan and sauté the onions and garlic until they are golden brown but not burnt.
• Pan-fry or grill the sausages until they are browned all over.
• While the sausages are cooking and browning, put the potato mash in the microwave with what Huey calls "a good slurp of cream and a generous dollop of butter on top". Heat until really hot, then mix in the butter and cream.
• Place the mashed potato on a plate, top with the sausages, top with the onions and garlic, and serve with mustard on the side.
• Chef's notes on the rather old-fashioned, probably not-much-used-in-2005 terms used in this recipe: tucker = food; bangers = sausages; spuds = potatoes.

BANGERS AND MASH WITH ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan and gently sizzle the sausages over a medium-high heat for 8-10 mins, turning them, until browned on all sides. Transfer to a plate, then put the butter in the pan and heat until sizzling. Scatter in the onions, stirring them into the butter, then add the thyme sprig, bay and sugar. Give everything a final stir, then put the sausages on top and drizzle over any juices from the plate. Roast everything for 20 mins, turning the sausages halfway through.
• Meanwhile, make the mash. Tip the potatoes into a pan of cold salted water and bring to the boil, then turn down and simmer for 10-12 mins or until just cooked all the way through (the tip of a knife should slide in easily). Drain in a colander and leave for a minute. Tip the milk into the pan and bring to a simmer, then pass the potatoes through a ricer into the hot milk and mash thoroughly. Once mashed, beat with a wooden spoon or spatula over very low heat, then beat in the butter a few bits at a time. You should have extra-fluffy, smooth mash. Keep it warm.
• When the sausages are cooked, remove from the oven, turn the oven off and lift the sausages onto a tray. Return them to the oven to keep warm. Put the pan back on the heat and give the roasted onions a stir, they should be sticky and slightly burnt around the edges. Sizzle for a minute or two more to caramelise, then stir in the flour and cook for another minute. Splash in the vinegar, simmer for a minute, then pour over the red wine and soy, and bubble down to a gloopy paste. Pour over the stock and boil for 3-4 mins, or until you have a rich gravy. If you prefer, scoop out the thyme and bay, or just leave it in. Tip into a bowl or gravy jug with a serving spoon for the onions. Bring everything to the table and scoop a big mound of mash onto the middle of each plate, then top with the sausages and gravy.
