Baron de Ley Club Privado Reserva Rioja

The Baron de Ley winery was founded by a prestigious group of Rioja professionals in 1985. They were quite unique in their approach as they modelled the winery on a Medoc chateaux, which was a pioneering move at that time for producers in the Denominacion de Origen Calificada Rioja. This wine is aged in new oak casks for 20 months prior to resting in the bottle for 2 years before release. It has definite claret qualities; the nose is layered with ripe cherry, toasty oak and a touch of cigar box. Lively, ripe, red fruit with dried tobacco and nutty vanilla overtones, round tannins with an expressive woody finish. Rioja wine can be excellent value for money and has terrific cellaring potential. Buy this wine if you like: Well rounded reds, with soft fruit and toasty character, easy drinking for upfront pleasure.

Description

Takes a lot to beat a banger! This is a delicious twist on the traditional sausage and mash - yummy!!!

Method

1
1. Heat the oven to 180oC gas 4.
2. Brown the sausages with a little olive oil in an ovenproof dish. Throw in the onions, cook until soft then add the bacon and garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
3. Stir in the flour, pour in the Guinness and let it bubble then add the thyme. Cover and bake for 40 minutes.

Chef's Tips

Serve with loads of creamy mash and peas. Oven roasted root veg is good with this too. Just make sure you use the best quality sausages you can afford, it does make a difference.
