sausage in onion gravy

#shorts #sausages #oniongravy

My last short video was some seriously sinful buttery mashed potatoes and well the jury is in and sausages with onion gravy is the best friend of mash.
In the UK 'bangers and mash' is one of our most loved dishes.

The term 'bangers' dates back to WW2 where rationing of meat meant that the humble sausage was very popular as the meat content could be altered with all sorts of other stuff added. The result was that the wartime sausage had a tendency to explode while cooking.

I like to braise my bangers with the caramelised onions with cider or beer and chicken stock, this way the sausages absorb the onion flavour and visa versa with the onion gravy getting all sausagey.
