Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6.

2. Cook the Cumberland sausages in a roasting tin for 15-20 minutes until golden.

3. During the last 10 minutes, place the mini Yorkshires on a baking tray and add to the oven; cook according to pack instructions.

4. Peel the potatoes and cut into chunks. Place into a pan, cover with water and boil for about 15 minutes until soft. During the last 8-10 minutes, add the cabbage.

5. Drain and mash with a splash of milk and a knob of butter. Stir through the spring onions.

6. To make the gravy, heat the oil in a medium saucepan and cook the onion for 5-10 minutes until lightly golden and softened. Stir in the flour; then gradually pour in the stock. Add the thyme leaves, bring to the boil and simmer and thicken for 5 minutes.

7. Serve the sausages with the colcannon mash, Yorkshires, gravy and seasonal vegetables.

Do you need to turn the sausages whilst in the oven, and is this the best way to cook them?
