Instructions

Start the Prep
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt for the potatoes. 

Trim the carrots, then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Chop into roughly 1cm wide, 5cm long batons.

Pop the carrots onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. 

When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until tender, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through.

Ready to Roast
2

Meanwhile, place the THIS™ Isn't Pork Sausages on a large baking tray in a single layer and drizzle with oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Once the carrots have been cooking for 5 mins, bake the sausages on the middle shelf of the oven until golden brown, 15-18 mins. Turn halfway through cooking. IMPORTANT: Ensure they're piping hot throughout.

Pop the garlic (unpeeled) into a small piece of foil with a drizzle of oil and scrunch to enclose it. Add the garlic parcel to the same tray to roast until soft, 10-12 mins. Remove and set aside.

Cook the Potatoes
3

Meanwhile, chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel first if you prefer). When your pan of water is boiling, add the potatoes and cook until you can slip a knife through, 15-20 mins.

Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back into the pan. Cover with a lid to keep warm.

Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the onion, season and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10-12 mins.

Make the Red Onion Gravy
4

Add the balsamic vinegar and sugar (see pantry) to the onions and cook until caramelised, 1-2 mins.

Melt in the butter (see pantry), then stir in the flour (see pantry). Stir until combined - you've made a roux! Cook, stirring, until the roux is a medium brown colour, 2-3 mins. 

Gradually stir in the water for the gravy (see pantry), then add the red wine stock paste. Bring to the boil, stirring out any lumps that form. TIP: If you have any red wine, add a splash now for extra flavour.

Lower the heat and simmer, until the gravy has thickened to your liking, 8-10 mins. 

Garlic Mash Time
5

Once the garlic has roasted and cooled, cut the end with scissors, squeeze it out of the skin and mash with a fork. 

Add the garlic to the cooked potatoes with a knob of butter and a splash of milk (if you have any) and mash until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve
6

When everything's ready, reheat the sauce if necessary, adding a splash of water if needed. 

Share the THIS™ Isn't Pork Sausages between your plates, then serve with the garlic mash and roasted carrots alongside. 

Spoon over the red onion gravy to finish. 

Enjoy!
