Ingredients

For the Onion Gravy:

• 1/2 tbsp oil
• 8 sausages of your choice (Note 1)
• 1 large onion, halved and finely sliced (yellow, white, or brown) (Note 2)
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tbsp plain flour
• 2 cups low sodium beef stock/broth, store-bought or homemade (Note 3)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

To Serve:

• Mashed potatoes
• Peas

Instructions

Cook the Sausages:

• Heat oil in a large skillet or fry pan over medium-high heat.
• Add sausages and start cooking, turning occasionally, until all sides are brown and cooked through. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of your sausages, but it usually takes around 8 minutes.
• Remove sausages from the skillet and set them aside on a plate. Turn the heat down to medium.

Sauté the Onion and Garlic:

• Ensure there’s around 2 tbsp of oil left in the skillet. If not, add a little butter or oil.
• Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Start cooking until the onions are golden brown, around 4 minutes.

Cook Off the Flour:

• Add the flour to the skillet and mix through. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes to cook off the raw taste of the flour.

Gradually Add Beef Stock:

• Add about 3/4 cup of beef broth and mix into the onion mixture until it forms a thick paste.
• Slowly add the remaining beef broth and stir until smooth. If it’s lumpy, use a whisk to help smooth it out.

Thicken the Gravy:

• Let the gravy simmer, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens. It should be slightly thinner than you want, as it will thicken further once served.

Season the Gravy:

• Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Serve:

• Serve the sausages with plenty of onion gravy, alongside mashed potatoes and peas (or creamy cauliflower mash for a low-carb alternative).
