Sometimes, especially when it's freezing cold, traditional British food can't be beaten! I'm not sure my French friends will agree - they just don't get those white beans in what they think is a sugary tomato sauce!
The reason for the British-themed dinner last night was that I got an order delivered from my former shop's meat suppliers - Charlotte and Dan Green of Twelve Green Acres. Just the sight of the gluten-free chipolatas he makes specially for me from his free-range rare breed pigs ... brought all the memories back ... and made me urge for bangers and mash.
For perfect mash, I always steam the potatoes. I used Maris Piper because they make a nice floury mash with no lumps. I mashed them with butter, salt and pepper and then added some grated Red Leicester cheese. Certainly not a low-fat option but delicious once in a while.
I bake sausages in a terracotta dish in the oven and never prick the skins. My absolute favourite baked beans are Whole Earth's but it's easier to find Heinz and I like the low salt and low sugar variety. I add a dash of Life's gluten-free worcestershire sauce to the beans. And Granovita's gluten-free brown sauce is really delicious and fruity (also perfect in a bacon sanie). Now my French friends really won't get that combination ...!!
