Sausages in dough with red onion gravy

60 minutes
Sausages in pastry with red onion gravy is a dish of British cuisine that combines comfort and rich flavors. The roots of this recipe trace back to the traditional 'Toad in the Hole,' where the batter is baked around a meat filling. In this version, the delicate pastry is infused with rosemary aroma, while parsnip adds a light sweetness. The main highlight is the red onion gravy with thyme and balsamic vinegar, giving the dish a deep caramel hue. It perfectly balances the juiciness of the sausages and the lightness of the baked pastry. This dish is great for a family dinner or a cozy evening when you crave something simple yet impressive. Served hot with aromatic gravy and fresh herbs, it creates an unforgettable gastronomic delight.
