This is one tasty pie. It’s relatively easy to make and it’s getting written down because I tried it and it actually worked out pretty well. Feeds a small army.

Ingredients:

  • 8-10 sausages
  • 10-12 waxy potatoes diced
  • 3-4 good quality tomatos
  • 1 brown onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • sea salt
  • olive oil
  • various spices (I used a garam masala mix and Masterfoods Portuguese chicken seasoning, sumac and cayenne)
  • milk
  • semolina (optional)
  1. pre heat the oven as hot as it will go
  2. lay your sausages out in a big oven baking dish so they cover as much of the surface as possible
  3. dice your potatoes into 1cm squares so they boil quick. chuck them in a cold water pot with plenty of salt. Crank the gas until they’re well boiled. We’re gonna mash these puppies hard.
  4. dice up your tomato. Leave it raw and scatter over the sausages and set aside
  5. cut up your onion nice and fine and coarsely chop your garlic.
  6. now grab a wok or a pan and warm up your olive oil for about 2 mins
  7. chuck the spices in the oil and let it mix well. Follow it up with the garlic and let that sit for a minute or two to infuse
  8. finally throw in the onion and let it all brown nicely and soften up. 2-4 minutes should do it nicely. This is the most important bit
  9. now throw the onion and spice mix over the sausages and toms. cover in salt
  10. once your potatoes have boiled, mash them and cover it over the sausages like a pie. Pour over milk to soften the mash
  11. optionally, sprikle with semolina so get a bit of crunchiness happening.
  12. throw in the oven for 30 minutes.
