A WEEK OF GO TO DINNERS

Creamy Champ with Sausages and Caramelised Onion Gravy

Hump Day? What hump day? This go to dinner is sure to keep those hump day blues at bay! This is the perfect meal for our whole family! Stuart loves the creamy mash, Freddie can't get enough of the sausages and I am all over that caramelised onion gravy! 

Serves: 2

Prep: 15 mins

Cook: 30 mins

Ingredients

4 Sausages

4 Large Maris Piper Potatoes

1/2 Cup Milk

Bunch of Spring Onions

Large Knob of Butter

Salt and Pepper

For the gravy: 

1 Onion

1 Tsp Brown Sugar

1 Tsp Plain Flour

2 Tsp Balsamic Vinegar

200ml Chicken Stock

Method

1. Peel potatoes and cut into chunks.  Pop them into a saucepan of lightly salted water, bring to the boil and simmer for about 10 minutes or until cooked through.

2. Meanwhile, cook sausages. I use our ActiFry to cook sausages so I just pop them in there for 25 minutes and let them cook away! Choose your method and go for it! 

3. Prep onions by slicing them thinly and get your spring onion ready for your champ.

Caramelised Onion Gravy 

•  Heat oil in a pan. When hot, add onion and fry gently until soft and golden.
• Next, sprinkle in brown sugar and stir. Allow to caramelise slightly.
• Add Balsamic Vinegar and stir. Next, add the flour and stir.
• Cook gently for 1 minute before adding the stock - stir immediately until your gravy is smooth.Simmer gently for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile back with the champ...

4. Heat Milk and spring onion in a saucepan on a low heat until warm.

5. Once potatoes are cooked through, drain and pop back in the pan. Add butter and season well.

6. Mash potatoes until smooth and pour in heated milk and spring onion. Stir to combine.

7. Now you are ready to plate up!

8. Start with a generous helping of creamy mash, top with chopped sausage and spoon over that delicious onion gravy!
