Gourmet Bangers & Mash

"Bangers & Mash is a traditional English dish that's simple, cheap and filling. No need to be excluded from enjoying this treat if you're vegetarian -- just try some of the many meat-free sausages available. In England, Quorn sausages are a favourite of mine but the Linda McCartney brand sausages are also good."

directions

  • Grill or fry the sausages.
  • The healthiest way is to grill them in the oven at 350 F or 180 C for 20-30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, boil the potatoes until tender.
  • Drain potatoes and mash with milk, butter, salt and nutmeg until smooth.
  • For the gravy, heat oil in a frying pan and sauté onions until nicely browned.
  • Stir in the flour and then the mustard, followed by the wine. A few seconds later add the stock and allow to thicken.
  • Pile the mash onto a plate, followed by the sausages and lovely spoonfuls of the gravy.

Questions & Replies

  1. "Bangers" are not available where I am, though there is a fairly good selection of sausages around the area. I am wondering exactly what sort of sausages "Bangers" are, so I can try to select a variety that might be a very close match to authentic "Bangers." Can anyone help with that question? Thanks a bunch, if you can!
     
  2. How many cups = 300ml

Reviews

  1. I really enjoyed this, though I have never had Bangers and Mash before. My husband said that the potatoes were right, but that the gravy was not--though it was tasty! Thank you for a good dinner and great directions. (Following your directions, everything came together at exactly the same time!)
     
  2. Made this exactly as written and everyone cleared their plates! I used Trader Joe's garlic & chicken sausage, and Adellis chicken & apple sausage. Great recipe to celebrate an early St. Pats Day!
     
  3. We had this for our annual St. Patrick’s Day dinner & it was a total hit! Simple but delicious. I switched the potato mash for a mix of potatoes & cauliflower and it was fantastic. Would make this again in a heartbeat!
     
  4. Delicious bangers recipe! The mash and the gravy really took it over the top. If you're having trouble finding bangers, I found them at Trader Joe's. Probably only around because of St. Patty's Day.
     
  5. Great recipe! Based on some of the other reviews I used red wine and beef bouillon instead of the chicken. I will also add mushrooms next time (even though that's probably not authentic, I bet it would taste great). I never would have thought to bake/roast the sausages and they came out perfectly.

  1. Switched 1/2 cauliflower mash to cut down on calories and carbs!

  3. WOW great comfort food!!My sausages took 30 minutes in the oven and I used beef stock and red wine for a very delicious gravy! Just made half a recipe for the two of us and I had some no fat sour cream I needed to use up so I replaced the milk with it, loved the touch of nutmeg. This will become a 1st choice when we're looking for comfort food, thanks for sharing!! posted Oct 20, 2004
     
  4. This made for a tasty, easy family dinner, and I particularly liked the light touch of nutmeg in the mashed potatoes. However, the gravy wasn't as robust as I had hoped; next time I think I will use beef stock instead of chicken, red wine instead of the white I used, and maybe add some chopped mushrooms. I baked the sausages at 350 and they were perfect after 30 minutes. Thanks for posting!
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes. Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;) Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce. When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice. We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing! When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband. <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif">
