OLD-FASHIONED DOG – AMERICAN MUSTARD, KETCHUP AND CARAMELISED & CRISPY FRIED ONIONS

METHOD 1 Firstly, add a splash of oil to a heavy based frying pan and carefully add the onions on a medium heat. Fry the onions for 20 minutes or so until they are golden brown, then stir in the gravy granules and malt vinegar. 2 Add the fresh thyme and simmer gently for ve minutes. Keep to one side. 3 For the sausages, simply fry in a hot pan with a little oil until you have colour all over, then pop into the oven for 10 minutes on a 180C fan oven. 4 Once the sausages are cooked, cut open the buns and place the sausage on top, spoon the onions over generously and then squirt over the ketchup and mustard. 5 Finally sprinkle over the crispy onions, serve and enjoy!
