TRUE BANGERS AND MASH WITH ONION GRAVY
Bangers and mash gets its name because sausages used to burst (or bang) while cooking, due to rusk (dried bread) being added to the meat. Mash, meanwhile, refers to the mashed potatoes. This recipe was a staple at our home in Dublin at Halloween. It is a very cheap, very traditional supper, and one that truly requires good sausage. Try to use a good quality sausage or perhaps even a bratwurst. Please note that this is a very thin gravy, as is traditional. It will still be very liquidy.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
- Cook the sausage links in a skillet over medium-low heat until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per side; transfer to an oven-safe dish and move to the preheated oven to keep warm.
- 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.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Over a gentle heat, melt the oil and butter in a large saucepan. Add the finely sliced onion and cover the pan with a lid. Cook the onions slowly for approximately 10 minutes or until the onions are soft and translucent. Have a peek now and again to make sure the onions are not browning.
- Add the sugar plus the balsamic vinegar to the onions and stir well. Cover again with the lid and continue to cook for a further 5 minutes, again taking care to make sure they do not burn.
- Remove the lid from the pan, raise the heat slightly and pour in the dark beef stock. Gently boil uncovered for 5 minutes to reduce the gravy by roughly a third.
- In a heatproof jug or bowl mix the corn flour/starch with the cold water to create a thin paste.
- Pour a little of the hot gravy into the cornflour mixture and mix thoroughly. A very thick paste will start to form so add more gravy to thin this down to create a thick pouring liquid.
- Pour the thickened gravy mixture back into the gravy in the pan, add your chosen mustard, raise the heat to a rolling boil and boil for 10 minutes or until the gravy thickens slightly.
- Taste the gravy to decide if you want more mustard, add if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for a further 3 minutes. The gravy is now ready to serve. If not serving immediately keep warm until needed.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over med-high heat until hot and beginning to ripple. Add the sausages to the pan and lightly brown on all sides. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the sausages for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the sausages to a platter and set aside.
- While the sausages are roasting, add the potatoes to a large pot and fill with cold water until the potatoes are covered by about 1 inch. Bring the potatoes to a boil and cook for approximately 20 minutes or until they are fork tender. Drain the potatoes and return to the pot with the heat turned off. Add 1/2 cup of milk, the yogurt and horseradish and mash the potatoes with a potato masher until combined. Add the remaining milk and continue to mash until combined and creamy but still chunky. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with a lid or foil and keep warm until ready to serve.
- Over med-high heat, add the onions to the skillet and cook until deeply golden brown and caramelized, approximately 15-20 minutes. Stir in the garlic and thyme cooking for 1 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the ale and scrap up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan using a wooden spoon. Stir in the mustard thoroughly and then sift the cornstarch over the mixture before stirring into the gravy so lumps do not form. Add the broth to the mixture and continue to cook until slightly thickened, approximately 10 minutes.
- Serve the sausages on the mashed potatoes and top with the gravy. Serve immediately.
- Note: The sausages, gravy and potatoes can all be made up to 1 day in advance and stored individually in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Heat before serving.

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.

Tips:
- Use good quality sausages for the best flavor. British bangers are typically made with pork, but you can use any type of sausage you like.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the sausages. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- To make sure the sausages are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- For the gravy, use a good quality beef stock. You can also use chicken stock or vegetable stock, but beef stock will give the gravy a richer flavor.
- Be sure to caramelize the onions before adding them to the gravy. This will give the gravy a deeper flavor.
- Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the gravy for a bit of extra flavor.
- Serve the bangers and mash with your favorite sides, such as peas, carrots, or roasted potatoes.
Conclusion:
Bangers and mash is a classic British dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of savory sausages, creamy mashed potatoes, and rich onion mustard gravy is simply irresistible. Follow these tips to make the best bangers and mash possible.
