Sausage and Mash
Traditionally known as Bangers and Mash, this is an age-old favourite of mine
Before I transitioned to a plant-based diet, sausage and mash with a rich, meaty onion gravy was one of my favourite meals. It’s proper comfort food and, done well, is simply divine.
Once I eschewed animal products, though, I struggled for a long time to re-create it and get it to taste the way it’s supposed to. After several years of practice and experimentation, I think it’s almost there; I’ve found a nice, meat-free sausage and have two or three ways of preparing the potatoes. The gravy is pretty much perfect and can be used with other meals too.
It’s simple, straightforward and should take about 45 minutes to make, depending on which methods you use.
So without further ado, here goes:
Ingredients
This makes enough for two large meals or three smaller ones.
4–5 medium to large potatoes
1 medium onion (white or red)
Oat milk
Vegan butter
Dijon or wholegrain mustard (or vegan horseradish)
Meat-free gravy granules
