  • 2 Celery Sticks, Finely Chopped
  • 2 Cloves Of Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Handful Of Frozen Peas
  • 3/4 Sprigs Of Fresh Thyme
  • 600ml Of Gravy
  • 2 Large Potatoes, Cut Into Chunks
  • 150ml Of Whole Milk
  • 50g Butter
  • 1 Handful Of Grated Mozzarella (Or Cheddar)
  • 1 Tbsp Of Oil

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
  2. Peel your potatoes and cut them into small chunks then add them to a pan of salted water and cook for 15 minutes.
  3. Heat up the oil in a large frying pan and gently cook the sausages on a medium heat for 12-15 minutes until they’re crispy. Transfer the sausages to a plate.
  4. Put the butter in the pan then tip in the onions, celery, garlic and the thyme leaves and fry for a few minutes until soft. Add in the mushrooms and peas and fry for another 5 minutes.
  5. Make up the gravy and pour that into the pan. Chop up the sausages into 1cm slices and add them into frying pan but keep 6 slices back for the topping. Simmer for a few minutes.
  6. Drain the potatoes when fully cooked. Add in the milk and butter with a pinch of salt and mash thoroughly.
  7. Add the sausage mix to a large pie dish then spoon the mash over the top. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the mash over the sausage mixture. Top with the grated cheese then place the 6 sausage slices on top. Place in the oven for 30 minutes. A few minutes before the end, remove the pie and sprinkle a few more thyme leaves over the top then place back in oven.
