Title: Vege alternatives to toad in the hole...
Post by: chriscross1966 on January 04, 2010, 22:09:56
I think I've already offered Axolotl in the Abyss (roast halloumi in yorkshire batter) on this forum, however today I bring forth a new culinary marvel especially fitting for these freezing times...

Salamander in a Subterranean Setting

Prep (wash, de-eye but don't bother peeling) some Pink Fir Apple potatoes.
Parboil or zap up a bit in the microwave.
Roast in a deepish pan for ten minutes on Gas Mk7 in a 50:50 mix of olive oil and butter with a few herbs and a bit of rough-chopped garlic.
Turn the potatoes over and pour over som,e yorkshire batter.
Return to the oven now set at Gas 6 for 14 minutes,
Turn it round and give it a few minutes more.
Eat, in my case with some ratatouille made slightly more robust by the addition of a bit of red wine and some pre-cooked (at least partially) pearl barley

It certainly sounds 'different'. Plenty of different flavours.

There was a pub in Yorkshire we went to for a meal once and they served all sorts inside one of those big, dinner plate sized yorkshire puddings.

We need plenty of  comfort food at the  moment too....

I only really did it cos it saved mnea dish in the washing up to pour the batter over the roasting spuds..... would work with other potatoes too I guess but PFA are sort of sausage shaped....

I love the names you give these dishes!

My OH is a veggie and we make Veggie Toad in the Hole using veggie sausages, cooked for a while in the oven and then the batter poured on top. Served up with roasties and onion gravy  ;D Mind you having said that I often skip the veggie sausages  ;)

But I like the idea of the potatoes in the batter......
