The Milk House Pork and Herb Sausages with wilted spinach mash, red onion marmalade and a red wine jus

Serves 2
Ingredients

• 6 pork & herb sausages
• 400g King Edward potatoes
• 400g baby leaf spinach
• 200g South Downs butter
• 40ml full-fat milk
• 20ml double cream
• 100g sweet red onion marmalade
• 80ml red wine
• 40ml port
• 20ml balsamic vinegar
• 2 tbs beef glace de viande
• Sea salt and cracked black pepper
• 2 springs of parsley

Method

For the wilted spinach mash:
Peel the potatoes and boil them for 15–20mins in salted water until soft.  Drain the potatoes, add butter, milk and cream and mash until soft and fluffy. Season to taste. Fold fresh baby leaf spinach into the mash while hot to wilt.  Leave to the side with the lid on.

For the sausages:
Pan fry 20g butter in a pan until nut brown. Add the sausages and caramelise for 7–10mins until golden brown and beginning to
sizzle. Finish cooking the sausages in the oven for 7–10mins at 180°C until the juices run
clear.

For the jus:
While the sausages are in the oven, add the wine, port, balsamic vinegar and glace de viande to a saucepan.  Bring to the boil and reduce by half to form a thick sauce.

Finally
Slowly reheat the wilted spinach mash.
Divide the potato between two pre-heated plates.
Stack three sausages on top of the potato.
Pour the jus over and around the sausage.
Garnish with a generous dollop of red onion marmalade and a sprig of parsley
Serve with a glass of Chapel Down Union Red
