Instructions
In a large skillet, add olive oil and sausages, and cook until heated through or cooked through (depending on if sausages are precooked or raw).
In a large pot, add a steamer basket, peeled and chopped potatoes, and then the cauliflower on top. Using the steamer ensures the cauliflower doesn’t absorb too much water. Steam potatoes and cauliflower until fork-tender, about 25 minutes.
Once sausages are browned, remove from the pan, and add the onions. Season well with salt and pepper.
Continue caramelizing the onions over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes, until the color is evenly brown the onions are soft and sweet.
Add the rest of the ingredients into the pan with the onions, except the arrowroot and water.
Heat the mixture over medium-high heat and bring to a low simmer.
Mix the arrowroot and water, and then drizzle into the gravy to thicken. Simmer until it reaches the desired thickness.
Once the potatoes and cauliflower are fork-tender, drain, and add to a food processor bowl or mixer bowl, and mash. Season with ghee, salt, and pepper.
Serve sausages over mashed potatoes and cauliflower, with the onion gravy on top.
