Vegan Bangers and Mash

As summer comes to a close here in Australia, I'm saying a sad farewell to the long days, warm weather and beach walks I've enjoyed these last three months, but all is not lost. With cooler weather comes cozy scarves, hot chocolate (the vegan variety, of course), and hearty, winter meals. 

I decided to create my own vegan gravy for the this recipe, and was really happy with how my mushroom based version turned out. It's got a deep flavour and lovely texture, rivaling any non-vegan version you've tried. 

My Vegan Bangers and Mash makes for a fantastic winter warmer, with creamy mash, roasted veggies and spicy sausages, made by my favourite vegetarian butcher, Suzy Spoons. Their smoked chilli sausages are so meaty and smokey, and are free of gluten, onion, garlic. They make the perfect addition to this hearty meal, so pick up a packet and start cooking!
