Ingredients

• 8 pieces vegetarian sausages
• 1000 grams potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 60 grams butter
• 125 milliliters milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 500 milliliters vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Start by peeling and chopping the potatoes into roughly 2-inch chunks.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the vegetarian sausages and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the onion is translucent and starting to caramelize.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the onions, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to toast the flour slightly.

Step 6

Gradually add the vegetable broth to the pan, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and allow the gravy to thicken, approximately 5 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the soy sauce, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and add more if needed. Keep warm on a low heat.

Step 8

Once the potatoes are done, drain and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning to taste.

Step 9

To serve, place a generous scoop of mashed potatoes on each plate. Top with two vegetarian sausages and a ladle of onion gravy. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your comforting vegetarian bangers and mash!
