Cookalong with Gary O'Hanlon

Lots of us need cooking inspiration during this time and possibly all the time, so we have asked Chef Gary O’Hanlon back on to the show to share simple and popular recipes and we want you to get involved and try it out each week. This week's recipe is Bangers ‘N’ Mash  Mustard Seed, Onion & Balsamic Gravy    Serves 3   Ingredients  Drizzle of cooking oil   6 large pork sausages  2 white onions, sliced thick  40g yellow mustard seeds  70ml balsamic vinegar  10-12 splashes wusta sauce   450ml hot water with 2tbspn bisto chicken granules (ideally beef stock or veal stock to the same quantity but very few have veal stock lying around the home.. I know I don’t)   White pepper to taste     For the Mash   800g roosters, peeled, washed and cut into equal sized chunks  sea salt and white pepper to taste   90g butter (you may need more)   cold water to cover     Method  For the Potato  Cover the potatoes with cold water and add 5 or 6 pinches salt   Boil gently until cooked through & drain   Place back on the heat to Teem, aka to dry the potatoes  Season well with salt & white pepper and whip in the butter  If they aren’t creamy enough add in more butter knob by knob  Set aside covered with foil to keep warm    For the Bangers  Heat a frying pan and add a drizzle of oil  Add in the sausages and fry, turning every minute, until golden all over  Now add in the onions and sauté for 1 minute  Now add in the mustard seeds and a few pinches of pepper  Once the mustard seeds start to pop and cackle add in the balsamic and wusta sauce  Reduce by half then add in your gravy.  Bring to the boil and then simmer for 9-10 minutes or until the sausages are cooked through.   A small breakfast sausage should only take 6 or 7 minutes    To serve  Add a big dollop of mash to a bowl and top with 2 large sausages and don’t forget a big spoonful of the onion mustard seed gravy.  Lunchtime Live Listen and subscribe to Lunchtime Live on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Spotify.      Download, listen and subscribe on the Newstalk App.    You can also listen to Newstalk live on newstalk.com or on Alexa, by adding the Newstalk skill and asking: 'Alexa, play Newstalk'.
