Vegan Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy

Ingredients

• 8 links Vegan Sausages
• 2 lbs Potatoes
• 1/2 cup Plant-Based Milk
• 2 tablespoons Vegan Butter
• 2 medium Onions
• 1 cup Vegetable Broth
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1Place the 8 links Vegan Sausages in a large skillet or frying pan. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, or until browned and heated through. Remove the sausages from the pan and set aside.
2. 2While the sausages cook, peel the 2 lbs Potatoes. Cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes and place them in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Cover the potatoes with cold water by about 1 inch and add the 1/2 teaspoon Salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander.
3. 3Return the drained potatoes to the empty pot. Add the 1/2 cup Plant-Based Milk and the 2 tablespoons Vegan Butter. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until smooth and creamy. Stir in the 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper. Keep the mashed potatoes warm.
4. 4Thinly slice the 2 medium Onions. Heat the 2 tablespoons Olive Oil in the same skillet used for the sausages over medium heat (about 350°F / 175°C). Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes, until they are soft, deeply golden brown, and caramelized. This process should be slow and gentle to bring out their sweetness.
5. 5Pour the 1 cup Vegetable Broth into the skillet with the caramelized onions. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. In a small bowl, whisk together the 1 tablespoon Cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water until smooth, creating a slurry. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering onion mixture, stirring constantly. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
6. 6Stir the 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce into the thickened gravy. Taste the gravy and add more salt or pepper if needed, but be mindful of the saltiness from the soy sauce and vegetable broth.
7. 7To serve, spoon a generous portion of the creamy mashed potatoes onto each plate. Top the mashed potatoes with 2 of the cooked vegan sausages. Ladle the rich onion gravy generously over the sausages and potatoes.
