Hand-made bangers with mustard mash explosion

Method

1. First make the two sausage mixes. Put the ingredients for each type of mix in two separate bowls. Combine thoroughly and evenly, using your hands. Cover with cling film and refrigerate overnight.

2. Form the two mixtures into sausages, or, if you are using a sausage-maker, stuff the mixture into skins.

3. Preheat the grill.

4. Put the potatoes in a large saucepan with enough water to just cover. Add salt, cover and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 20 minutes until tender.

5. Once the potatoes are simmering, place the sausages in a grill pan. Grill for 20 minutes, turning regularly, until cooked through and golden brown.

6. While the sausages and potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add the leek and fry for about 5 minutes until soft. Set aside.

7. Once the sausages are cooked, transfer to a heated serving dish and keep warm while you finish the potatoes.

8. Drain the potatoes and tip them back into the pan. Add the mustard, fromage frais and the remaining tablespoon of oil. Place over a low heat and mash thoroughly. Stir in the leeks and season to taste.

9. Serve with Red Wine, Herb and Onion Gravy.

Cooks Notes:
Use freshly minced pork with some fat in it. If the pork is too lean, the sausages will be dry.
