Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces sausages
- 2 large yellow onions
- 3 medium potatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups beef stock
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 sheet ready-made puff pastry
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and thinly slice the onions. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the onions and cook until caramelized, about 15 minutes.
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes (about 1/2-inch). Boil them in salted water for 7-8 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
In the same skillet used for the onions, add the sausages and cook them until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove and slice into 1-inch pieces.
To the skillet with the onions, add the flour and stir well for 1 minute. Slowly pour in the beef stock while stirring to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, then simmer for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens into a gravy.
In a 9-inch round pie dish, layer the sausages, caramelized onions, and diced potatoes evenly. Pour the gravy over the layers, ensuring everything is coated.
Roll out the puff pastry and carefully place it over the pie dish, trimming any excess. Tuck the edges in for a clean seal.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. Brush this mixture over the pastry to ensure a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Once slightly cooled, place a large plate over the pie and carefully flip it upside down to serve.
Slice and enjoy your English Sausage Upside Down Pie!
