Bangers and Mash

“This is some great British grub!” 

Filed under learning a simple new technique that improves upon a classic.

Copyright2016LucyLean--2Sausages with mashed potato is a family favorite British dish Granny would have described as nursery food and now commonly found in gastropubs across the UK. How could we improve upon this dish? Easy – have Rémy grill the bangers and Minty make the mash…


So as Rémy donned his English flat cap and took to the grill – along with his trusted friend Joey – and a cup of tea – Minty made the best mash EVER.

Copyright2016LucyLean-Thanks to my friend Jaden at Steamy Kitchen for this new way of making Mashed Potatoes – the clue is ironically in the name of her website – you steam the potatoes rather than boil them.  The result is fluffy light potatoes that need the addition of one thing – butter!

 

Peel the potatoes (we like to use Yukon Gold potatoes), place in a steamer with about an inch of water in the bottom, and steam until soft all the way through – about 10-15 minutes.  Place the steamed potatoes in a pot, add a generous amount of best quality cubed butter (2-4oz) lots of pepper and salt, and mash with a potato masher. The consistency of the steamed potatoes quickly transforms into fluffy rather than gloopy mash without the need of a ricer – no lumps here!

Copyright2016LucyLean-2191Rémy heated the grill on high for about 10 minutes and then reduced the heat on the two outside burners to low and the middle burner to medium-high.  He placed the sausages on the middle grates and turned them every couple of minutes until perfectly seared and oozing juices. He also heated a can of Heinz Baked Beans in a pot directly on the back of  the grill.

Copyright2016LucyLean-1When the kids do the cooking they are much more likely to eat it all up and stick to healthy real food. Great job Minty and Rémy – and I’m glad to see Rémy’s recent trip to Paris and his visit to Napoleon’s tomb resulted in this culinary history gem – Duke Wellington’s men were named Bangers and Mash – time to look into visiting The Duke of Wellington in London for Bangers and Mash when we are over this summer.
