Low-calorie cooking spray
3 large onions, halved and chopped
2 large sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked
1kg floury potatoes, such as Maris Piper, peeled and cut into small chunks
12 frozen Slimming World Syn-free Pork Sausages
1 level tsp sweetener
1 tsp mustard powder
1 level tbsp plain flour 600ml beef stock
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
200g thin-stemmed broccoli, to serve
75ml vegetable stock
1 Spray a large, non-stick, lidded frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium-low heat. Add the onions, thyme leaves and 3 tbsp water, and season. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft.
2 Meanwhile, boil the potatoes for 20 minutes, or until tender, and cook the sausages according to the pack instructions. While they are cooking, uncover the onions, increase the heat to medium-high and add the sweetener (and a splash more water if needed). Cook for a further 10 minutes, stirring frequently, or until all the liquid has disappeared and the onions are golden brown. Stir in the mustard powder and flour, then gradually stir in the beef stock and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer rapidly for 8-10 minutes until reduced and thickened.
3 Meanwhile, boil the broccoli for 5-6 minutes, or until tender, then drain. Drain the potatoes well and return to the pan. Mash with the vegetable stock until smooth, then season to taste. Divide the sausages, mash and broccoli between 4 plates. Serve with a quarter of the gravy per person and a twist of black pepper.
