This sounds divine, think we'll be having this next week :) And the instant mash pies, wonder how well they travel.
 
I Usually bring the slow cooker to the boil then turn down, the longer the better. If you pre-cook the sausages then you can eat it as soon as the ingredients are hot & cooked approx 30mins onwards!

Me too. It was delish. Used soy instead of oyster sauce so sys even lower. Steamed some broccoli and pakchoi to go with it.
 
Pete I have just made the mushy pea curry sauce and had it with sausage and chips, it was so so tasty, I really enjoyed it. Love your recipes Pete thanks so much x
