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)

ONION ITALIAN SAUSAGE
When my five children were still all at home, this was one of their most-requested meals. I've long had this recipe among my standbys, and, like all cooks who improvise and experiment, I've changed it as our tastes have changed. Having my recipe judged "grand prize winner" is exciting...and I sure have to smile when I think what my children will say to me. More than once they've pointed out featured recipes in other magazines. "But, Mom," they tell me, "you've been making this for years!"

Steps:
- Heat a large braiser or high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and swirl to coat the skillet. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sausages and brown on all sides until browned but not cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove them to a plate and let cool until cool enough to handle, then slice them into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
- Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Add the peppers and onions and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook the peppers and onions, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to incorporate. Continue cooking the vegetables over low heat until they're very soft, beginning to caramelize and have some spots of browning, about 40 minutes. If the vegetables start to look like they're getting too browned too quickly, add a splash of water to deglaze.
- Add the apple cider vinegar and the sausages to the skillet and stir to incorporate. Continue cooking until the sausages are cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the heat off.
- Garnish with the basil and serve immediately.

SOSIS BANDARI (SPICY SAUSAGES AND ONION)
Sosis bandari means "port sausage" and refers to the ports in the south of Iran, home of this delicious street food. The classic preparation combines fragrant sausages and onion cooked in a rich tomato sauce with a couple of key spices, including some type of heat. You can use any dried or fresh chile that you have on hand. This recipe calls for beef hot dogs, or franks, which are a suitable substitute for the fragrant sosis, the sausages traditionally used in this sandwich. Other versions, like this one, include creamy potatoes and green bell pepper to add bulk and to flavor the spicy and savory sausages. Serve sosis bandari as a sandwich filling on a French bun or similar type of sandwich bread, or eat it straight from the pan with bread on the side for scooping. Either way, you'll want plenty of napkins and something cold to wash it all down.

Steps:
- Bring a medium pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes, cover with the lid ajar and cook over medium-high until the potatoes are tender but still holding their shape, about 5 minutes. The potatoes should not be mushy or fall apart. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add the sliced hot dogs and cook, stirring occasionally, until plump and glistening, about 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the hot dogs to a plate. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the oil already in the pan. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the bell pepper, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Add the turmeric, cayenne and black pepper, stir, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and stir to cook off the raw taste, about 2 minutes. Add a little more oil if the pan is too dry.
- Add the potatoes, hot dogs and 1/4 cup water to the pan. Stir well to combine, scraping up any browned bits and taking care not to smush the potatoes. Taste for salt and spice, and add more seasonings if desired. Cook until the flavors meld, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Spread mayonnaise on one half of the bread, and spread mustard on the other half. Divide the hot dog and potato mixture among the bottom rolls. Top with the parsley leaves, pickle and tomato slices, and shredded lettuce. Sandwich with the tops, slice the sandwiches in half and serve with a refreshing cold drink and plenty of napkins.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Onions: Yellow onions are the most commonly used onions for caramelized onions, but you can also use white or sweet onions. Red onions can be used, but they will give the onions a slightly pink hue.
- Slice the Onions Thinly: The thinner you slice the onions, the quicker they will caramelize. Use a sharp knife or a mandoline to get thin, even slices.
- Use a Heavy-bottomed Pan: A heavy-bottomed pan will distribute the heat evenly and prevent the onions from burning.
- Cook the Onions Low and Slow: Caramelizing onions takes time. Cook them over low heat for at least 30 minutes, stirring frequently. This will allow the onions to develop their full flavor and sweetness.
- Don't Add Salt Too Early: Adding salt to the onions too early will draw out the moisture and prevent them from caramelizing properly. Wait until the onions are starting to brown before adding salt.
- Use a Variety of Seasonings: You can season the caramelized onions with a variety of herbs and spices. Some popular options include thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Conclusion:
Caramelized onions are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are perfect for topping sausages, burgers, hot dogs, and sandwiches. They can also be used in pasta dishes, soups, and stews. With a little time and effort, you can easily make caramelized onions at home. So next time you're looking for a way to add some extra flavor to your meal, give caramelized onions a try!
