Ingredients
(Serves: 2)
- 4 sausages (meat or substitute)
- 2 small onions, diced
- Butter
- 1 sprig of thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- A pinch of sugar
- 1 heaped tsp of flour
- 1 tbsp of red wine vinegar
- 1 glass of red wine
- 1 tsp of soy sauce
- 400ml of beef or vegetable stock
- 1 or 2 pipettes of Orange County full-spectrum CBD oil
For the mash:
- 1 large King Edward potato, peeled and chopped
- 100ml of whole milk
- 50g of butter
- A grating of nutmeg
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven. Pour the oil into the pan and pre-cook the sausages for 5-10 minutes until brown on all sides.
- Step 2: Remove the sausages and drain the oil. Place the butter in the pan and heat until sizzling. Add the onions, sugar, bay leaf and thyme, cooking for 5 minutes and stirring.
- Step 3: Pour the seasoned butter into a baking tin, adding the sausages on top and then cook for 20 minutes.
- Step 4: Whilst the sausages are cooking, place the potatoes in salted boiling water, reducing the heat to a simmer for 10-15 minutes. Make sure the potatoes are fully cooked, then drain the potatoes and leave them to cool for several minutes.
- Step 5: Tip the milk into the pan and bring it to a simmer, then add the potatoes and mash. Once fully mashed, slowly add the butter and work it in with a wooden spoon. The end result should be a light, fluffy mash that is creamy without being heavy. Be sure to keep the mash warm.
- Step 6: Once the sausages are fully cooked, drain the butter from the baking tin into a pan. Be sure to keep the sausages warm, then place the pan onto a medium heat, letting the onions sizzle. Add the flour and cook for another minute before adding the vinegar, the wine and the soy sauce, as well as your preferred dose of CBD oil.
- Step 7: Let it reduce down to a thick consistency before adding the stock. Ensure it is all fully mixed, letting it boil for 3-5 minutes until you have a thick gravy. Plate up the mash and sausages, pour on the gravy and enjoy.
CBD Mince Pies
