Prepare the skewers the day before, if you like. Cover the uncooked skewers and refrigerate overnight.

About the recipe
Putting a twist on our classic and much-loved bangers and mash, I love the fact that this can be handheld, if you want to make the most of the great outdoors. All the elements are so good together, and the method of grilling the sausages as one, then slicing them up later, means you get a cross-section of gnarly crispy outer and deliciously juicy middle that’s to die for.
Recipe From
Ingredients
2 onions
12 quality meat or veggie sausages, a mixture of types if you can get them
olive oil
2 teaspoons runny honey
8 wholewheat tortillas
MASH
1.5kg of potatoes
25g of unsalted butter
2 tablespoons of semi-skimmed milk
120g of red Leicester cheese
Top Tip
It’s fun to use two or three different types of sausage here – see what your butcher’s got and choose whichever ones tickle your fancy.
Method
- You need eight skewers – if using wooden ones, soak them in a tray of water first to prevent them burning.
- Peel the onions, cut into sixths, and break apart into petals. Line up six sausages, interspersing them with half the larger onion petals. Now, holding them together, carefully push four skewers through all six sausages at regular intervals, meaning you can pick the whole lot up as one. Repeat, then rub with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- For the cheesy mash, peel the potatoes, chop into even-sized chunks and place in a large pan of salted water. Bring the water to the boil and cook the potatoes for 15 minutes, or until soft.
- Drain and leave to steam dry for 2 minutes, then return to the pan and mash well. Add the butter and milk, coarsely grate in the cheese, mix together, then season to perfection, tasting and tweaking. Once made, you can put the mash in a heatproof bowl, cover with tin foil and place over a pan of gently simmering water to keep warm, until needed.
- Cook the sausages on a medium-hot barbecue, under a grill at full whack for 12 minutes, or in the oven at 200°C/400°F/gas 6 for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through, turning halfway, and drizzling each set of sausages with 1 teaspoon of honey for the last minute of cooking.
- Slice between the skewers, giving you eight individual skewers of sausage slices. Briefly warm the tortillas, then spread the mash over a wrap and slide the sausages off a skewer on top.
- I like to add a good handful of red cabbage slaw (you can find my recipe on page 274 of Together), and wrap the whole thing up. Great served with a simple onion gravy (find my favourite recipe on page 275 of Together), for dunking.
