“I made this last night but with vegan sausage and it was so delicious! I was skeptical about making mashed potato balls but it ended up being so yummy the way they cooked in the beans and tomatoes and I loved how it plated! I had to add some fat (I went with a little butter) to make up for the dry nature of the "sausage" my husband prefers, and I'm in the US so the internet suggested worcestershire sauce when I looked up "HP Sauce" online, but it was so nice to have such a delicious, flavorful meal with pantry staples!”
“I didn't have tinned mixed beans in the cupboard and so just used 1 tin of black beans which was all I had. I think it would have been better with mixed beans. Good flavour. Didn't use good enough sausages either, just what I had in the freezer. Will try again with better ingredients.”
Hi Woulfie, thanks for your review! It's great to hear that the flavour was on point, and we can't wait for you to try it again. Experimenting is all part of the fun!
Big love, The Jamie Oliver Team
“My Japanese Mom loves to watch the “Jamie Channel” in Alaska, so when I visit her, we spend hours sitting and watching his shows. This was one of the recipes he prepared on my last visit, so I decided to give it a try when I got home. I had everything on hand other than the HP sauce, which I substituted with Bulldog sauce (katsu sauce) because it sounded like it may be somewhat similar. The meal was a hit with my husband, who went for seconds. I sent her a photo of the meal and told her I’d make it for her the next time I’m there. I also told her I’d bring one of his cookbooks and we can try others.”
