Method

Rich Wintery Sauce
- Heat one tablespoon of the olive oil in a medium to large size pot, then add the bacon and allow it to brown.
- Add onions, mushrooms and garlic and cook until the onions are translucent – stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the herbs and season generously with the cracked pepper then cook for one minute.
- Deglaze the pot with a splash of red wine, add the beef stock and bay leaf, bring to the boil and then lower the heat to a rapid simmer, cooking until the liquid is reduced by two thirds. (30 - 45 mins).
Potato Mash:
- Place the potatoes in a large pot of cold water to cover, seasoning generously with salt and bring to the boil. The potatoes are ready once a sharp knife can glide through without resistance.
- Drain and allow 5 minutes for the potatoes to steam before mashing.
- Mash the potatoes, heat the milk and fold through the potatoes with the butter until smooth.
Sausages:
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a fry pan on medium heat and cook the Gotzinger German Bratwurst on all sides until golden and heated through. (About 15-20 mins)
To Serve:
- Reheat the potato mash on the stove.
- Combine the corn flour and water then add to the sauce. On a medium heat allow the sauce to thicken for a few minutes. Prepare your plate by serving a generous scoop of mash followed by two German Bratwurst, a ladle of sauce and a sprinkle of parsley.
