Servings: persons

8 links pork sausage
English mustard, to serve
For the gravy
1 1/2 lbs onions, sliced thinly
1 pinch sugar
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
1 ounce butter
1 teaspoon plain flour
2 1/4 cups brown ale
2 1/4 cups beef broth
1/2 star anise
2 cloves
2 fresh bay leaves
For the mashed potatoes
2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
2 ounces butter
2 -3 tablespoons milk
salt and pepper

1
To make the beer and onion gravy, heat the oil and the butter in a large, heavy based saucepan.
2
Add the onions and sugar and cook over a low heat for 45 minutes, stirring now and then, until soft and richly caramelised.
3
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
4
Stir in the beer, beef broth, star anise, cloves and bay leaves and boil vigorously until reduced to a rich, glossy sauce - about 20 minutes in a large saute pan.
5
Remove the star anise, bayleaves and cloves (if you can find them) from the gravy and season to taste with some salt and pepper.
6
For the sausages and mashed potato, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 20 minutes until soft.
7
Then after about 10 minutes, heat the oil for the sausages in a large frying pan.
8
Add the sausages and fry them over a medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning now and then, until nicely browned and cooked through.
9
Drain the potatoes and mash until smooth - a potato ricer does this really well.
10
Beat in the butter with some seasoning and enough milk to make a smooth, creamy mash.
11
Spoon the mashed potatoes onto warmed plates and rest the sausages alongside.
12
Pour over some of the gravy and serve with a good spoonful of English mustard.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
