Chicken Sausages in Onion Gravy with Pumpkin Mash and Veggies

Peel pumpkin and potato, dice into 2cm chunks. Place in a pot and cover with water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer for 12-15 minutes until tender. Drain and mash with salt and pepper and a little olive oil or butter if desired. Set aside and keep warm.

Tip! If you have a steamer it is ideal for cooking mash especially with pumpkin as it will absorb less water and be less mushy. Alternatively you can pop it in the microwave, covered with a splash of water.

Peel and finely slice onion. Cut broccoli into small florets.

Heat a frypan over medium high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and cook the sausages on all sides until browned. Set aside while you make the gravy. The sausages don't need to be fully cooked at this stage.

In the same pan, fry the onions for 5 minutes until golden and softened. Add the wine and deglaze the pan scraping up any bits. Mix the jus base with ³⁄₄ cup of water and add to the pan. Stir until thickened and put the sausages back in. Cook for 4-5 minutes until sausages are cooked and gravy has thickened.

While sausages cook, heat another pan over medium heat and add a little oil. Add the broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes, adding a lid to create some steam. Add the spinach and cook for a further minute, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Serve the mash and veg with chicken sausages, spooning the gravy over the top.
