Good evening! We had such a lovely dinner tonight. The children helped me put together a bit of a special dinner to celebrate the launch of Richmond chicken sausages. We had sausages (obviously!), creamy potato and sweet potato mash (my favourite mash recipe at the moment!), steamed Tenderstem broccoli and steamed fine beans tossed in melted butter and garlic.
Beanie helped me weigh the potatoes and she gave them a good rinse after I’d peeled them.
Crevette turned steamed fine beans into my nan’s favourite: green beans in garlic butter.
We had such a feast!
To be perfectly honest, when Richmond invited me to celebrate the launch of their brand new chicken sausages, I didn’t think I’d be impressed.
Did I think it was an odd concept to have chicken in a sausage? Yes.
Do I have an open mind? Yes. So I went.
The event, which took place in a lovely Soho kitchen, was a very relaxed affair, with a bunch of friendly bloggers and the bubbly Angellica Bell, 2017 Celebrity MasterChef winner.
Angellica treated us to a food demonstration with Richmond chef Mat Stephany. We also had a go ourselves at making Yorkshire puddings (first time for me) and delicious homemade baked beans.
When I first tried the chicken sausages, I was apprehensive. Although I didn’t want to be rude, I wasn’t planning to declare I liked something I wasn’t keen on. I was pleasantly surprised by the chicken sausages. They had a lovely consistency, nice flavours and with hindsight, they were actually lighter and much easier to digest than traditional sausages.
With no further ado, here is the recipe for our delicious dinner: Creamy Potato and Sweet Potato Mash, Greens & Richmond Chicken Sausages.
Creamy Potato and Sweet Potato Mash, Greens & Sausages
Ingredients
For the potato & sweet potato mash
- 8 Maris Piper potatoes 1.2 kg
- 1 large sweet potato 300g
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 150 ml semi-skimmed milk
- salt and pepper
- a sprinkle freshly grated nutmeg
- fresh parsley to garnish
8 sausages
For the green beans
- 100 g fine beans
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 garlic clove
- salt & pepper
100g Tenderstem broccoli
optional: gravy
Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil.
- Peel and wash the potatoes and cut them into chunks.
- Add the potatoes and sweet potatoes to the pan and cook for about 15 mins or until soft.
- In the meantime, place the sausages on a baking tray in the middle of the oven (190ºC / gas mark 5) and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Steam the green beans for 5-7 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes, then return to the pan. Add in the butter and the milk and mash using a potato masher until smooth and creamy. Season to taste, cover and set aside.
- Steam the Tenderstem broccoli for 3-5 minutes and sauté the green beans in the melted butter and garlic for a couple of minutes.
- Serve and enjoy.
Save me on Pinterest for later (the mash is out of this world!):

Really simple but my daughter’s favourite ……. cheesy mash, with sausages, baked beans and peas. These seem like a much healthier option, so I would probably cook it more often for her.

Whoa! Green beans in garlic butter? Why have I never thought of that before? Was so lovely to see you at the Richmond event. Hope to see you again soon x
Oh gosh Helen, it’s life-changing stuff! Every time I make that for friends, it becomes a staple in their house too! Basically, you can prep your green beans way in advance by steaming them for a minute less than you normally would, then drop in ice water and keep in the fridge until ready to warm up in a knob of butter with 1 crushed garlic clove then season. Best way to eat green beans 🙂 It was so lovely to finally meet you too! xxx

I cook sausages then set them to one side, then fry sliced carrots and garlic until soft, then I add 1 tin of tomatoes, 300ml stock & a squeeze of tomato puree, simmer for 15 mins then return the sausages for a further 10 mins then serve with cous cous or crusty bread. I usually make this with pork sausages but I’m sure it would work equally as well with chicken ones.
Oh your recipe sounds perfect! I’m pretty sure it would work beautifully with the chicken sausages!
