  • 2 sheets flaky puff pastry optional
  • oil spray

Mash

  • 400 g potatoes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup milk

Sausages

  • 6 sausages

Ingredients

  • 1 carrot
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 leek
  • 2 apples
  • 2 cubes chicken stock
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard

Filling

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 tbsp Italian herbs
  • 2 tbsp flour or gluten-free flour

Bake pie

  • oil spray

To serve

  • ¼ cup tomato sauce

Instructions

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 200 °C if using pastry. Defrost 2 sheets flaky puff pastry, if using. Bring a steamer pot of hot tap water to a boil. Bring a jug of water to a boil. Spray a baking dish with oil spray.

Cook mash

  • Peel and dice 400 g potatoes into small chunks. Cook the potato in the steamer pot of boiling water for 12-15 minutes until tender. Drain the water, then transfer the potatoes to the pot. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, ¼ cup milk, and season with salt and pepper. Mash until smooth.

Cook sausages

  • Meanwhile, cook 6 sausages in a large frypan on medium-high heat, tossing regularly, for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through. Set aside to cool before slicing into 1cm thick rounds. Reserve the pan.

Prep ingredients

  • Meanwhile, peel and finely dice 1 carrot. Peel and mince 4 cloves garlic. Trim 1 leek, halve lengthways, wash and thinly slice. Peel, core and dice 2 apples into 1cm chunks. Crumble 2 cubes chicken stock into a heatproof jug, add 1 cup of boiling water and 2 tsp Dijon mustard and whisk to combine.

Start filling

  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in the reserved pan on medium-high heat. Add the carrot, garlic, leek, apple, 1 tbsp Italian herbs, and 1 cup frozen peas to the pan, season with salt and pepper, cover and cook for 8-10 minutes.

Finish filling

  • Sprinkle 2 tbsp flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes until combined. Gradually add the stock, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming, and bring to a boil. Stir most of the sausages into the pan, along with any juices, then evenly spoon into the prepared baking dish.

Bake pie

  • Spread the mash over the top of the pie filling using the back of a spoon. Poke the reserved sausage slices into the top, spray with oil spray and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is cooked and golden (if using pastry).
    Note: If not using pastry, grill in the oven for 5 minutes, or until golden on top.

To serve

  • Divide the bangers and mash style pie between plates and serve with tomato sauce on the side.
