Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, King Edward or Maris Piper are good
- 2 carrots
- 1 small turnip
- 80g butter
- 200ml milk
- Salt and white pepper
- Pinch nutmeg (optional)
- 8 of your favourite sausages
- 100ml apple juice
- 200ml readymade beef gravy (powdered will do)
- 1 tbsp country relish
- A sprig of thyme or rosemary
1 Peel the potatoes and carrots and cut into roughly 3cm chunks.
2 Peel and dice the turnip into smaller dice.
3 Boil the vegetables in salted water until tender, then mash with the butter and milk, then season and add the nutmeg.
4 Meanwhile pan-fry the sausages until cooked. This will of course depend on their thickness.
5 Remove the sausages from the pan and keep them warm.
6 Add the apple juice to the pan to deglaze it, then add the gravy, the relish and the thyme.
7 Simmer the gravy for one minute to bring everything together.
8 Serve the stump and sausages on warm plates with plenty of the gravy.
