From Taste

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 4 medium (about 800g) brushed or Pontiac potatoes, peeled, roughly chopped
• 8 (about 700g) pork Old English sausages
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 medium red onions, peeled, thinly sliced
• 1 400g can whole peeled tomatoes, undrained, roughly chopped
• 1 tsp dried oregano leaves
• Salt & ground black pepper, to taste
• 20g (1 tbs) butter or margarine
• 60 mls (1/4 cup) milk

Method

1. Cook potatoes in a saucepan of boiling salted water for 12-15 minutes or until soft. Drain.
   
2. Meanwhile, heat a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat and cook the pork sausages, turning often, for 4-5 minutes or until browned. Drain on paper towel and keep warm. Remove excess fat from pan then add the garlic and onions. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, for 4-5 minutes or until onions are tender. Stir in the undrained tomatoes, oregano, salt and pepper.
3. Return the sausages to the pan, cover and simmer over medium- low heat for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until sausages are cooked through. Meanwhile, combine potatoes with butter or margarine, milk and salt and pepper to taste and mash until smooth. Serve sausages with tomato and onion sauce plus the mashed potato.
