Servings: 4

Ingredients

4 rindless streaky bacon rashers
1.5 litres Beef Bone Broth
2 Tbsp coconut oil or good-quality animal fat
8 paleo pork sausages
1½ onions sliced
1 Tbsp tomato paste
5 thyme sprigs leaves picked
100 ml red wine (such as shiraz)
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Parsnip and Cauliflower Mash
Chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves to serve

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C/355°F fan-forced).
Place the bacon on a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes. Flip the bacon and cook for a further 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crisp. When cool enough to handle, chop the bacon into small pieces.
Pour the broth into a saucepan, bring to the boil and cook for 20-25 minutes until reduced to 400ml. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Heat the coconut oil or fat into a large, deep frying pan over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook for about 8 minutes, or until browned on all sides and almost cooked through. Remove the sausages from the pan and set aside.
Using the same pan and the fat left over from cooking the sausages, sauté the onion over medium heat for about 8 minutes, or until caramelised. Add the tomato paste, then add the thyme and red wine and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes, or until the liquid has evaporated. Gradually pour in the reduced broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5-6 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened. Stir in the bacon and season with salt and pepper. Return the sausages to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, or until they are completely cooked through.
Divide the mash among the four serving dishes. Top with the sausages, then spoon over the onion and bacon gravy. Sprinkle on the parsley and finish with a good grind of pepper.
