Bangers & Mash with Red Wine and Onion Gravy
Few dishes are more comforting (or unapologetically British) than bangers and mash. With just three core elements, it's pretty simple to put together, but when each process is treated with care, it becomes so much more. This red wine and onion gravy is a favourite of mine - full of depth and just as good with chicken or steak.
