St. Paddy's Day Guinness Bangers & Mash

Servings: 

6

Ingredients: 

[For Bangers] 1 tsp grapeseed oil

[For Bangers] 2 lbs chicken sausage (instead of traditional English or Irish)

[For Bangers] 24 oz Guinness beer

[For Bangers] 1 medium onion, diced

[For Bangers] ½–1 each sliced green, red, and yellow peppers (to add color and vitamins)

[For Mash] 6 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks

[For Mash] 1 large white onion, diced

[For Mash] 1 cup shredded white cheddar

[For Mash] 4 tbsp butter, cut into cubes

[For Mash] ½ cup half and half (instead of heavy cream)

Equipment:

• Sauté pan

Instructions:

1. For Bangers: Heat grapeseed oil over medium high heat in a sauté pan with a lid. Sear sausage on all sides. You can slice them lengthwise before searing if you like. 2. Add beer and onion to the pan, turn heat down to low, and braise until sausage is cooked through—about 50 minutes (if not sliced). 3. Toss in peppers and cook until heated through, but still crisp and colorful.
2. For Mash: Boil your potatoes and onion until the potatoes are tender and then strain. 2. Return potatoes to the pot and stir in cheese, butter, and half-and-half. 3. Mash the potatoes by hand, then, if you like smoother potatoes, whip them with an electric beater. Set aside and keep warm until you’re ready to plate.
3. To serve, place some of the potatoes on a plate, followed by the peppers and onions. Add the sausages, then top everything with a bit of the juice the sausages cooked in.
