For a quintessential British dinner, it’s hard to beat sausages and mash, but this mouth-watering stew takes it to the next level – and it’s all cooked in one pot.
Recently shared by Joe Wicks (@thebodycoach), who has teamed up with Asda to create quick, healthy, and budget-friendly recipes, this dish uses a few clever shortcuts to achieve speedy results.
Instead of creamy mash, use tender, tinned new potatoes and add peas, carrots, and onions to create a vegetable-packed dish.
This hearty stew boasts all the best flavours of bangers and mash, which meld together beautifully with a delicious onion gravy thanks to the one-pot method.
Described as a “hearty classic” that’s ready “in an instant”, it’s perfect for a quick dinner any day of the week. Plus, any leftovers can be easily saved for the next day and reheated for an even speedier meal, reports the Express.
Sausage stew recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 tbsp plain flour
- 600ml low-salt beef stock (made with 1 cube)
- Grainy mustard (optional)
- 400g Asda Flavourful Reduced Fat Pork Sausages (8-pack)
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 x 300g tins Asda New Potatoes Peeled in Water, drained
- 300g pack Asda Sweet and Tender Carrots and Peas
Method
1. Start by frying the sausages in a non-stick frying pan with a little oil over medium heat until they’re brown all over (around 4-6 minutes).
2. Remove the sausages from the pan with cooking tongs, then add the onion.
3. Season the pan and cook for another 4-6 minutes until the onions begin to soften. Add the flour to the mix and cook for an additional minute before pouring in the stock.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil, reintroduce the sausages to the pan and let it simmer for 10 to 12 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
5. Next, add the potatoes (cutting any large ones in half), along with the peas and carrots and allow to cook for another three to four minutes until everything is thoroughly heated.
6. If you don’t want the sauce to thicken or reduce any further, cover the pan with a lid, then get some warmed bowls ready to serve the stew. Ladle the stew into bowls and serve with mustard, if desired.
You can enjoy this dish on its own or with Yorkshire puddings and store any leftovers in a sealed container for up to two days. Ensure any sausages are sliced thinly before reheating.
