Sausages with mash & caramelized onions: Omit the ginger, stock, plum sauce and soy sauce. Replace broccolini with 400g green beans, topped. Replace the pork with 8 extra-lean beef sausages. At the end of step 1, season the mash with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbs olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 brown onions, halved, thinly sliced, and cook, stirring often, for 15 minutes or until soft and golden. Stir in 1 ½ tsp brown sugar and 2 tsp balsamic vinegar. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Cover with foil to keep warm. Continue from step 2. In step 3, divide the mash among serving plates. Serve with the sausages, beans and onion mixture.
