Method
- Preheat the grill. Separate and pierce the sausages and grill, turning occasionally, for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in lightly salted boiling water for 10 minutes, or until tender.
- While the potatoes and sausages are cooking, make the gravy. Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the onion for 3-4 minutes, or until soft. Pour in the gravy and simmer until it thickens. Remember to keep an eye on the sausages under the grill.
- Next, cook the peas and carrots in lightly salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes to be ready at the same time as the sausages.
- Drain the potato and mash with the butter/margarine, mustard and milk until creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the mash onto a plate, add the sausages, peas and carrots and pour on the red onion gravy.
