Toad-in-the-hole is a classic English bake of sausages in Yorkshire pudding batter.
Ingredients
- 6 Italian pork and fennel sausages (see note)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra, to brush
- 250g packet cocktail truss tomatoes (see note)
- 2 eggs
- 100g (2/3 cup) plain flour, plus 2 teaspoons extra
- 250ml (1 cup) milk
- 20g (1/4 cup) finely grated Parmesan
- 2 teaspoons wholegrain mustard
- 8 sprigs thyme
- 2 small red onions
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 250ml (1 cup) Massel chicken style liquid stock
Equipment
- You'll need 6 x 12cm metal pie pans; metal is a good conductor of heat, which ensures the batter puffs well.
Method
- Step 1Preheat oven to 220C fan-forced. Twist sausages in half to make 2 smaller sausages, then cut at the twist. Place pie pans on an oven tray. Brush pans with extra oil, then divide sausages among pans.
- Step 2Roast for 10 minutes or until sausages are browned underneath and oil is smoking. Meanwhile, snip tomatoes into 6 portions and set aside. Process eggs, flour, milk, parmesan, mustard and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor until smooth, then pour into a jug.
- Step 3Working quickly, remove tray from oven and place tomatoes and thyme between pans on tray. Pour batter into pans to nearly fill.
- Step 4Immediately return to oven and bake for 15 minutes or until puffed and golden. Meanwhile, to make onion gravy, peel and thinly slice onions. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onions and 1 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes or until soft. Add 2 teaspoons extra flour, stir for 1 minute, then stir in vinegar and stock. Bring to the boil and simmer for 3 minutes or until thickened slightly.
- Step 5Top toad-in-the-holes with tomatoes and thyme, then serve immediately with onion gravy.
