Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Manx sausages
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 large Red onion
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Port wine
- 1 cup Beef stock
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 piece Bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
Add the Manx sausages to the pan and cook them until they are evenly browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausages from the pan and set them aside.
Thinly slice the red onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of butter, then stir in the red onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly for about 1 minute to create a light roux.
Gradually pour in the port wine, stirring continuously to combine with the roux. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.
Add the beef stock, fresh thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper to the pan. Stir to combine.
Return the browned sausages to the pan, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid.
Simmer the sausages in the sauce for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the sausages are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs before serving.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot alongside creamy mashed potatoes or buttered green beans.
