Ingredients

6 cumberland sausages
1 onion
3 garlic cloves
3 medium potatoes
2 medium carrots
¼ cup tomato paste
1 x 400 gram can diced tomatoes
600 mls water
1 x 28 gram beef stock pod
1 teaspoon dried thyme or oregano
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
salt & pepper
1 tablespoon traditional gravy mix

Instructions

Prep the vegetables by peeling and slicing the onions and garlic. Chop the carrots and potatoes into 2cm cubes.
Heat a small amount of olive oil in a heavy based pot on medium-high heat and add the sausages. Fry them until brown, they don’t have to be cooked through, and then remove them from the pan and set aside.
To the same pan, add the sliced onions and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon until the onions have softened and browned. Add the garlic, tomato paste and spices and mix through for another minute.
Add in the potatoes and carrots to thepot and cook with the tomato paste and onions for a couple of minutes, mixing well so that the vegetables are coated.
To the pot, add the can of tomatoes, the water (use the can from the tomatoes to measure, it’s 1.5 can fulls) and the beef stock pod. Mix to combine everything.
Finally, add back in the sausages and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat to a gentle simmer and place the lid on to cook for 1 hour.
Remove the lid and continue cooking for another 15 minutes to let some of the liquid reduce before adding in the gravy mix. Stir through for a minute or two until it thickens. Serve with some bread or my preference, garlic bread and top with fresh herbs.

Notes

This is the stock pod that I use which is available at the supermarket. I find it has the most concentrated flavour and is a great addition to your dishes. If you don’t have it, you can use stock powder or simply replace the water with liquid beef stock instead.

For the gravy mix, use the traditional gravox for best results. You want to make sure it is the original style, not the instant version.
