50g butter
2 medium white onions, thinly sliced
1 tbsp light brown sugar
½ tsp black treacle

Instructions:
Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the sliced onions, sugar and black treacle, cook until onion caramelised. Add the red wine ( you can also cook without the wine, the gravy will still be delicious) and bring to a boil. Then add the stock, herbs, mustard, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and balsamic vinegar, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a low simmer for 15 minutes. Remove sprigs of herbs, dissolve the corn starch in a table spoon of water, whisk in the starch water until gravy thickened.
For the mash: boil the potatoes until tender, drain the water, add butter and salt, gradually add milk while mashing. Once at the desired consistency, cover and set it aside.
Cook the peas in boiling water for 2 minutes, drain and set aside.
To Prepare the Sausages: fry the sausages about 12 - 15 minutes, turn regularly, until they cooked through and have a good color outside.
To serve: Serve the sausages, mash and peas with the onion gravy poured on top.
