Ingredients
4 red onions, quartered (or cut into eighths if large)
2 1/2 Tbsp soft brown sugar
1/2 tsp chili flakes
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 1/2 Tbsp red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar
8 good-quality sausages
Parmesan mash (see below)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400° F. Put the onions in a baking dish and sprinkle with the sugar, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar and bake for 35 minutes.
2. Cook the sausages in a frying pan over a medium-high heat for about 15 minutes until well browned. Serve with the caramelized onions and Parmesan mash.

Parmesan Mash

Ingredients

1 lb 12 oz waxy potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

1/2 cup milk

1 oz butter

1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

sea salt

freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until tender, then drain and mash. Heat the milk and butter in a saucepan until the butter has melted and then beat into the mash until smooth. Add the Parmesan and beat well. Season with salt and pepper.

Notes: We realized after cooking this that we were supposed to use the smaller breakfast sausages. The photo in the cook book was a bit misleading and we used large sausages instead. Still, a tasty meal.
