When you need simple, delicious comfort food, look no further. There are few things as absolutely scrumptious as a plate of creamy, buttery mash topped with herby pork sausages topped with a rich, flavoursome onion gravy.

I used really plump sausages from my butcher and decided to roast them with fresh sage leaves which turned crisp once roasted. I would actually add even more the next time I make this. To make the onion gravy, I fried the onions slowly until they softened and became sweet and almost creamy. Something magical happens to an onion when it’s allowed to cook for a long time. It mellows out completely and becomes absolutely moreish. I like using a rich stock (beef or lamb) to make the gravy to add even more richness. Just the perfect comfort food and perfect for our cold winter nights.
