Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7 and bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt for the potatoes. 

Pop the garlic (unpeeled) into a small piece of foil with a drizzle of oil and scrunch to enclose it. 

Add the sausages to a large baking tray. When the oven is hot, roast the sausages until browned and cooked through, 20-25 mins. Add the garlic parcel to the same tray to roast until soft, 10-12 mins, then remove and set aside.

Turn the sausages halfway through. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw sausages. They're cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

While everything roasts, chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel first if you prefer).

When your pan of water is boiling, add the potatoes and cook until you can easily slip a knife through, 15-20 mins.

Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back into the pan. Cover with a lid to keep warm.

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. 

Once hot, add the mixed veg, season with salt and pepper and cook for 2-3 mins. Add a splash of water, cover with a lid (or some foil) and steam-fry until tender, 4-5 mins.

Transfer the veg to a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.

Pop your pan back on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, then stir-fry until golden, 4-5 mins.

Pour in the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) and bring to the boil, then stir in the red wine jus paste. TIP: If your red wine jus paste has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.

Reduce the heat to medium-high and allow the sauce to bubble and thicken, stirring regularly, 5-6 mins. Add a splash of water if it's a little thick, then remove from the heat.

Once the garlic has roasted and cooled, cut the end with scissors, squeeze it out of the skin and mash with a fork. 

Add the garlic to the cooked potatoes with a knob of butter and a splash of milk (if you have any) and mash until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

When everything's ready, reheat the sauce if necessary, adding a splash of water if needed. 

Share the sausages between your plates, then serve with the garlic mash and veg alongside. 

Spoon over the mushroom sauce to finish.

Enjoy!
