Instructions:

1. Cook the Potatoes
   Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain, mash with butter and milk, and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
2. Cook the Sausages
   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sausages and cook until browned and cooked through, about 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally.
3. Make the Onion Gravy
   In the same pan, melt butter and add sliced onions. Cook until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in beef stock and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season to taste.
4. Cook the Peas
   Boil peas in salted water for 3–4 minutes until tender, then drain.
5. Assemble and Serve
   Place a generous scoop of mashed potatoes on a plate. Arrange sausages on top and spoon onion gravy generously over them. Add peas on the side and serve hot.
