A deliciously different sausage recipe – Pork sausages and mushrooms cooked in wholegrain mustard, creme fraiche and cider. Perfect served with creamy mashed potatoes and lots of peas.
It’s British Sausage Week so I thought I’d share with you one of my favourite sausage recipes… Sausage and mushrooms in mustard and cider. It’s simple to make and it tastes delicious served with creamy mashed potato and peas (although I often eat it just by itself which is yummy too).
This dish is suitable for freezing so you can cook it in advance and then it’s there ready for a quick mid-week dinner.
