Bangers & Mash with Peas

Traditional Irish meal of sausage, mashed potatoes and gravy with seasoned green peas. Simple and hearty.

Breakfast Freezer Pancakes

Lunch Chili Mac

One Irish sausage link, a medium potato, onion, garlic, beef stock.
Take good slice from the onion and quarter.
Peel, slice and cube the potato.
Place the cubed potato in a pot and cover with cool water, toss in a smashed clove of garlic.
Put a bit of butter and oil into the pan, add onions and sausage over medium high heat just to get some color. Add 3 tablespoons of beef stock, reduce heat to medium low and cover.
Place a serving of peas in a microwave safe bowl with a bit of butter, a splash of red wine vinegar and some seasonings. People forget to season their veggies.
Once the potatoes are soft, turn off the heat, drain and return the potatoes to the hot pan, this removes excess moisture for fluffier mash. Mash with a fork. Add some ground mustard, just a shake or two, two tables spoons whole milk, and butter.
Remove the sausage and stir in butter, 1/2 teaspoon at a time until the gravy is thick and glossy.
Plate the potatoes and the sausage.
Smother with gravy and onion, add peas. Now that’s dinner!

I have always cooked, I was that person who could make a meal from an empty fridge. I have lived alone and with large and small families, I have cooked for camps on wood stoves, and in professional kitchens. I have lived and worked all over the west from Montana, to Seattle to Arizona to San Diego. I have traveled, maybe not 'all over the world', yet, and have collected tastes recipes and techniques everywhere, and every one I meet.
