Extra Special Meat-Free Bangers 'N' Mash

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Top, tail and slice the carrots at an angle

Add the carrots to a baking tray, drizzle them with olive oil and season them with a pinch of pepper

Add the meat-free sausages to the tray and put everything in the oven for 20 min or until the sausages are cooked through

While the carrots and sausages are cooking, boil a kettle

Peel and finely slice the red onion[s]

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a generous drizzle of olive oil over a very low heat

Once hot, add the sliced red onion and cook for 8 min or until softened and caramelised

Meanwhile, cut the potatoes (skins on) into small bite-sized pieces

Tip: If you'd rather skin-off mash, peel the potatoes first

Add the potatoes to a pot of boiling water with a pinch of salt over a high heat and cook for 10-12 min or until fork-tender

Once cooked, drain and return to the pot to steam dry

Reboil a kettle

Dissolve the vegetable stock mix in 250ml [500ml] boiled water, add the onion marmalade and mix until fully combined – this is your onion gravy stock

Once the onions are caramelised, add 1 tsp [2 tsp] flour to the pan and cook for 1 min, stirring until they're evenly coated in the flour

Add the onion gravy stock, increase the heat to medium and cook for 7-8 min or until thickened to a gravy-like consistency – this is your red onion gravy

While the gravy thickens, add the green beans to a pot with plenty of boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, cook for 3-4 min or until tender with a bite

Once cooked, drain and return to the pot and keep covered until serving

While your green beans are boiling, return the drained potatoes to a low heat and add a drizzle of olive oil

Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and mash until smooth
