TRUE BANGERS AND MASH WITH ONION GRAVY
Bangers and mash gets its name because sausages used to burst (or bang) while cooking, due to rusk (dried bread) being added to the meat. Mash, meanwhile, refers to the mashed potatoes. This recipe was a staple at our home in Dublin at Halloween. It is a very cheap, very traditional supper, and one that truly requires good sausage. Try to use a good quality sausage or perhaps even a bratwurst. Please note that this is a very thin gravy, as is traditional. It will still be very liquidy.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
- Cook the sausage links in a skillet over medium-low heat until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per side; transfer to an oven-safe dish and move to the preheated oven to keep warm.
- Place potatoes into a saucepan over medium heat, cover with water, and boil gently until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Mix in 1/4 cup of butter, milk, dry mustard, salt, and black pepper; mash until fluffy and smooth. Set aside.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the onions until translucent and just starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Pour in the beef broth and red wine; boil the mixture down to about half its volume, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. To serve, place a sausage onto a serving plate with about 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes. Pour the onion gravy over the sausage and potatoes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 F or 200 degrees C.
- Place onions, rosemary and a bit of salt in a small saucepan and cover with 1 cup water.
- Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat immediately.
- Cover and cook, stirring once or twice, for about 15 minutes until the onions are very soft, uncoloured and most of the liquid has disappeared.
- Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut into chunks.
- Rinse and boil in lots of salted water.
- Also, smear the sausages with oil, then place in a casserole dish and cook in the oven for about 30 minutes, turning half way through.
- Finish the onion sauce by boiling hard if necessary to get rid of any extra water.
- Discard the rosemary stalk, sift the flour over the top and stir.
- Add the mustard and 1 cup of the milk.
- Simmer gently for at least five minutes to cook the flour and make a thick, creamy sauce.
- Make the mash by draining the potatoes, adding the remaining milk and butter and mashing until smooth.
- Whip with a wooden spoon to make the mash light and fluffy, adding extra butter or milk if it's too thick.
- Divide onto plates, top with the sausages and a generous spoonful of gravy.
Tips:
- To make the creamed onion sauce extra smooth, blend it in a food processor or with an immersion blender until completely smooth.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the mashed potatoes.
- For a crispy banger, fry it in a pan over medium heat until golden brown and cooked through.
- To make the dish more flavorful, use a variety of herbs and spices in the creamed onion sauce.
- Serve the bangers and mash with your favorite sides, such as peas, carrots, or roasted vegetables.
