This is a ridiculously easy French classic. Perfect with steak or sausages, it has all the flavour of a restaurant without the associated price tag.

What you need:

Gravy

• 2 brown onions
• butter
• 1 cup red wine (don't spend too much on this)
• 1 1/2 cups of beef stock

Rest of the meal

• 1 bunch of broccolini
• potatoes
• sausages
• slivered almonds
• milk
• butter
• lemon

Finely chop the onions, heat the pan and melt 30-50 grams of butter in the pan. Cook the onions on medium to low heat until golden brown. Boil the potatoes for the mash.

Add the red wine and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Then add the beef stock and simmer for a further 20 minutes. While you are waiting for this to reduce, make the mash (adding butter, milk and seasoning to taste) and grill the sausages.

Just before you're ready to serve, cook (boil or steam) the broccolini and roast the almonds. Serve the broccolini with a dollop of butter, drizzle of lemon and a sprinkle of almonds. Place the sausages atop a generous helping of mash and drown with the delicious gravy. Enjoy with the leftover wine!
