"The elusively named ‘Bangers and mash’, is nothing other than a British classic of sausages in gravy over a bed of mashed potatoes: It’s truly rib-sticking comfort food. In this recipe, I’ve added a twist of crispy, fried sage leaves on top for crunch and fragrance. You’ll often see the dish made with British Cumberland sausage, which is a fresh, coarsely-ground and mildly herbal-seasoned pork sausage. Feel free to use the sausage (and meat) of your preference, but something with texture and a complementary flavor of its own is my tip! The gravy here is a classic onion gravy and can be easily whipped up quickly while the potatoes are simmering away. If you prefer red wine gravy, simply switch white wine for red. Serve your bangers and mash with a side of peas, buttered kale, or leeks for some added greens!"
