Sausages, buttery mash and caraway carrots

Sausages, buttery mash and caraway carrots less 75p each.

This is a banger of a meal that ticks most boxes when it comes to feeding a family. I have jazzed it up with the caraway seeds in with the carrots, but it gives it a really nice taste and the chutney mixed in with the gravy gives it a rich and Moorish flavour.

I even had the thumbs up from my mother in law on this (rare occurrence !) and the kids asked for seconds, so I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
