S&M

S&M is a true favourite in the Tarian Pantry household. After a day out visiting the Yarra Valley winery's, we made it home for a bottle of wine, a DVD and ofcourse Sausages and Mash!

The star of this meal was the onion gravy. Rich in colour and rich in taste this gravy rivals any packet version and although took a little time, it was worth it in the end.

This gravy only has 4 ingredients - 1 tbsp nuttalex, 1 large onion, sliced, 300ml vegetable stock and 1 tsp salt (plus you may need some flour and water to thicken up the gravy towards the end).

Method

In a small saucepan, melt the nuttalex and add the onion. Cook over a medium heat , stiring constantly until the onions are well browned, but not burnt - about 15 minutes. Add the vegetable stock and then transfer the mixture to a jug. Then strain the 'gravy' in a sieve over the saucepan and work through the onions - this is where the flavour and colour comes from.

Return the saucepan to the stove, add the salt and simmer the gravy on a low heat for 5 minutes. Add flour and water if the gravy needs to be thickened up. Season according to taste.

Serve of course with your favourite sausages and don't forget the mash.
