Sausages, mash & leek gravy

Method

1. 1

   First, fry the sausages in a pan until they have colour on all sides and are almost cooked through - this would take 10-15 minutes. You could also cook them in the air fryer or oven

2. 2

   Meanwhile, boil your potatoes for the mashed potato

3. 3

   Remove the sausages from the pan, and add the leek to cook in the juices from the sausages

4. 4

   Add the butter and mix until melted, then add in the flour and whisk together until you have a paste

5. 5

   Now gradually add in the stock, whisking consistently until you have a thick gravy (you might not need all of the stock)

6. 6

   Finally, season the gravy - add the Worcestershire sauce, garlic purée, mustard, thyme, and some salt and pepper to taste (like plenty of pepper in mine!)

7. 7

   Mix everything together and taste - adjust if needed - then add the sausages back to the pan to finish cooking

8. 8

   Finish the mash off by draining the potatoes and allowing to steam dry a little, before mashing together with butter and milk and seasoning with salt and pepper

9. 9

   Serve the sausages and gravy on top of the mash
