spring onion Sausage and Prawns Gravy

This spring onion sausage and prawns gravy is a deeply savoury, high-protein dish that brings together the rich flavours of the land and sea. By browning the pork sausage and caramelising the onions, you create a complex base that is enhanced by the subtle warmth of allspice and crushed chilli flakes. The addition of juicy jumbo prawns provides a perfect contrast in texture, resulting in a comforting meal that feels both indulgent and nutritious.

Ideal for a satisfying weekday dinner, this recipe fits perfectly into a muscle-building or high-protein diet. The combination of seafood and quality pork offers a substantial nutritional profile without sacrificing flavour. For a complete meal, serve this thick, fragrant gravy over a bed of fluffy white rice, creamy polenta, or even cauliflower mash for a lower-carb alternative.

Ingredients for spring onion Sausage and Prawns Gravy

  • 1 tablespoon rendered bacon fat

  • 450g spring onion pork sausage, removed from casings

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 1 tablespoon flour

  • 450g jumbo prawns, peeled and deveined

  • Sel

  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/2 green pepper, seeded and diced

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • 1 pinch allspice

  • 2 dashes Worcestershire

  • 80ml diced canned tomatoes

  • 1 cup Basic Chicken Stock

  • Leaves from 1 sprig fresh thyme

  • 1 spring onion, chopped

  1. Melt the bacon fat in a large heavy-bottomed pan over high heat, then add the pork sausage and cook, breaking up the meat with the back of a wooden spoon, until it is browned, 12–15 minutes. Add the onions and cook, stirring often with the spoon, until the onions are deep brown, about another 15 minutes.

  2. Reduce the heat to moderate, then sprinkle the flour into the pan, stirring to mix it into the sausage and onions. Cook for about 2 minutes to remove the raw flavour from the flour.

  3. Season the prawns with salt and pepper, then add them to the pan, stirring and tossing them with a spatula. Sauté until they turn pink, about 3 minutes. Remove the prawns from the pan and set aside while you continue making the sauce.

  4. Add the pepper, garlic, pepper flakes, allspice, Worcestershire, tomatoes, and Chicken Stock to the pan, stirring well. Increase heat and bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes. Add the thyme, spring onions, and prawns and cook for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
