Ingredients
Scale
- 4 sausages (preferably pork or beef, gluten-free if needed)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version)
- 1 cup stout beer (such as Guinness)
- 1 cup beef stock (or vegetable stock for a lighter version)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- For the Mash:
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 2 tbsp butter
- ½ cup milk (or dairy-free milk)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by making the mashed potatoes. Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15–20 minutes, until tender.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter and milk, mashing until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside and keep warm.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 10–12 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add butter and sliced onions. Cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes until the onions are soft and caramelized.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook for another 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly to form a roux.
- Slowly add the stout, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and balsamic vinegar, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook for 5–7 minutes, until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the sausages to the skillet, coating them in the gravy. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- To serve, plate the mashed potatoes, top with the sausages, and pour the stout onion gravy over everything. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- Feel free to use vegetarian sausages if you prefer a plant-based version of this dish.
- For an extra rich gravy, add a dash of heavy cream at the end of cooking.
- This dish pairs beautifully with a side of peas or braised cabbage.
- To make this dish gluten-free, make sure to use gluten-free sausages and flour.
