As the British would say, this dish is ‘bang on’, Chef! Pork sausages are pan-fried until crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and served on a plate with smooth potato mash, plump peas & golden carrots, and a delicious, homemade onion gravy with fresh thyme.

MAKE THE MASH
Place the potato pieces in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk (optional). Mash with a fork, season, and cover.
STOCK & SLURRY
Boil a full kettle. Dilute the stock with 100ml of boiling water. In a bowl, combine the cornflour and the worcestershire sauce to create a slurry. Rinse and separate the mixed herbs. Roughly chop the rinsed parsley. Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic and the rinsed thyme sprigs, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the diluted stock and the worcestershire sauce slurry. Simmer until slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes (stirring regularly). Remove from the heat and discard the thyme sprigs.
PEAS & CARROTS
Submerge the peas in boiling water until plump, 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside. Place a clean pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the carrot rounds until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and add to the bowl of peas.
PORK SAUSAGES
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sausages until browned and cooked through, 10-15 minutes (shifting as they colour). Remove from the heat and rest in the pan for 5 minutes.
