Bangers and Mash

Cultural Context

Bangers and Mash is a traditional British dish that combines sausages and mashed potatoes, often served with onion gravy. It is a comfort food staple in the UK, commonly enjoyed in pubs and homes alike. The dish's name is believed to have originated during World War I, when sausages were made with water and would burst when cooked, hence 'bangers.'

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Remove and keep warm.

Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash with warm milk, butter, salt, and pepper until smooth.

3

In the same skillet used for sausages, cook onion over medium heat until soft and golden, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle flour over onions and stir for 1 minute. Gradually add broth and Worcestershire sauce (if using), stirring until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Spoon mashed potatoes onto plates, top with sausages, and drizzle with onion gravy. Garnish with parsley.
