Sausage colcannon bake - listen, it's sausage casserole topped with mashed tatties and kale. It's proper comfort food and listen, it's not going to make itself. It freezes well, serves four (MASSIVE portions, mind) and is easy to knock out. Get on it!
Ingredients
6 medium-sized potatoes, cut into large chunks
80g kale
1 egg
8 sausages (see notes)
1 large onion, sliced
2 tbsp plain flour (4 syns)
3 beef stock cubes dissolved in 500ml boiling water
125g sliced mushrooms
100g frozen peas
1tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 bay leaf
Instructions
preheat the oven to 200Âșc
put the potatoes in a large saucepan, fill with cold water until covered and bring to the boil
reduce the heat and simmer for fifteen minutes, then drain
meanwhile, splash in a little bit of water to another pan and add the kale
cook over a high heat for 3 minutes until softened a bit
crack the egg into the potatoes and mash with the kale and add some salt and pepper to taste, and keep to one side
next, cook the sausages however you like (see notes)
spray a large frying pan with some oil and add the onions
fry over a medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, until browned and beginning to caramelise
add the flour and whisk with the onions for about a minute, then slowly add a little stock at a time, continually whisking, until you have a thickened gravy
add the sausages to the pan along with the mushrooms, peas, Worcestershire sauce and bay leaf and give a good stir
tip into a large dish and gently spoon the mash on top, spreading evenly across the top
you can leave the egg out of the mash if you like but it really does make it taste creamy - trust us! if you prefer to use milk or butter or whatever you can, just remember to syn it
we cooked the sausages in our Tefal Actifry (best to remove the paddle) and you can cook yours however you like, under the grill, in a frying pan, Optigrill, George Foreman, Airfryer... it's up to you!
not a fan of kale? swap it with whatever you like
use this oil sprayer instead of Fry Light if you don't want your pans to be ruined
