Preparation
Make the mash
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Medium-dice the potatoes. Boil, 14 to 16 min., until very tender. Reserving ½ cup cooking water, drain and return to the pot. Off the heat, add 2 tbsp butter. Mash, gradually adding the reserved cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency; season with ½ the spices and S&P.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, remove the stem ends of the string beans. Pick the thyme leaves off the stems; roughly chop the leaves.
Cook the sausages
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Cook the sausages*, partially covered, 3 to 5 min. per side, until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and keep warm, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan.
Roast the string beans
Meanwhile, on a lined sheet pan, toss the string beans with a drizzle of oil, the remaining spices and S&P. Roast, 5 to 8 min., until crisp-tender.
Make the sauce
In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Cook the onions, demi-glace, thyme and ¼ cup water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, 2 to 3 min., until slightly reduced; season with S&P. Off the heat, add 2 tbsp butter; stir well.
Plate your dish
Divide the mash and string beans between your plates. Top the mash with the sausages (slice beforehand if desired). Spoon the sauce over. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
