Treat your ingredients with care...
- Jerk sausages — Look for sausages labeled "jerk" or use regular sausages and coat them with jerk seasoning before baking.
- Scotch bonnet pepper — Adjust the amount or omit it if you prefer a milder dish.
- Coconut milk — Shake the can well before using to ensure the cream and liquid are well combined.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra burst of flavor, marinate the sausages in jerk seasoning for a few hours before baking.
- If you can't find jerk sausages, you can use any spicy sausages and sprinkle them with additional jerk seasoning.
- Add a squeeze of lime juice to the mashed potatoes for a tangy twist.
- Serve with a side of tropical fruit salsa for a refreshing contrast.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, use a blender or food processor to puree the caramelized onion mixture.
Serving advice
Serve the Caribbean Bangers and Mash hot, with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
Presentation advice
Arrange the sausages on top of the mashed potatoes and drizzle the caramelized onion mixture over them. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color.
