👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Cook the sausages:

   • Heat the oil in a skillet or saucepan over medium heat.

   • Add the sausages and brown them on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside (they don’t need to be fully cooked at this stage).

2. Make the sauce:

   • In the same pan, add the sliced onions and cook until softened and golden (about 8–10 minutes).

   • Add garlic and cook for another minute.

   • Stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.

3. Add liquids:

   • Gradually add the stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

   • Stir in Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, mustard, and sugar.

   • Bring to a gentle simmer and season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Simmer with sausages:

   • Return sausages to the pan.

   • Cover and simmer on low heat for 15–20 minutes, or until sausages are fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.

5. Serve:

   • Garnish with herbs if desired.

   • Serve hot with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or crusty bread.
