Cumberland Sausages with Onion Gravy

This is the kind of British dinner you’ll make on repeat — cumberland sausage coil and yellow onions, 45 minutes, big payoff. Each serving lands at 774 calories with 38g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Leftovers keep well, so it doubles as next-day lunch without any extra work.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Cumberland sausage coil
• 3 Yellow onions
• 3 tbsp Butter
• 1.5 cups Beef broth
• 1 tbsp All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Mashed potatoes
• 1 tsp Fresh thyme

Steps

1. Cumberland sausage comes in one long coil, heavily peppered — uncoil it gently and lay it in a spiral in an oiled roasting tin.
2. Roast at 375°F for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once, until browned and cooked through. The coil shape is traditional and, frankly, magnificent.
3. Meanwhile, caramelize the sliced onions in butter 20 minutes until deep amber. Dust with flour, cook 1 minute, then whisk in the broth and thyme into a glossy gravy.
4. Warm the mashed potatoes. A proper mash is the landing pad for both sausage and gravy.
5. Serve the coil over mash with the onion gravy ladled generously over. Cut into the coil at the table for maximum drama.
