Method

Boil the parsnips in a large pan of salted water for 15 mins, then add the cauliflower. Boil for 5 mins more or until the vegetables are tender. Drain and steam-dry for 5 mins.
Meanwhile, make the gravy. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onions and rosemary, and cook for 15 mins, stirring frequently. Sprinkle over the flour, stir well and cook for 1 min. Pour in the stock and simmer for 5 mins, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Season to taste. Set aside and keep warm.
Put the sausages on an oiled baking tray and grill on high for 16-18 mins, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through.
Cook the peas in a pan of boiling water for 3 mins. Drain; set aside.
Mash the parsnips and cauliflower until smooth, then add the milk and butter. Mash again to combine. Divide the mash between 4 shallow bowls and top each with 2 sausages and the peas. Spoon over the gravy to serve.

Freezing and defrosting guidelines

Freeze gravy and mash only. In order to enjoy optimum flavour and quality, frozen items are best used within 3 months of their freezing date. For more tips on freezing and defrosting food, read our article Love Your Freezer.

Tip: Use whatever root veg you have for the mash – try sweet potato, carrot or swede
