#Thyme and Sage Toad in the Hole recipe
Text
Thyme and Sage Toad in the Hole
One of my favourite ways to end a Sunday is watching Midsomer Murders on telly (or whichever other cherished detective series is on; or rugby)! As tonight it will be bizarre murders in the Causton area, I am making a hearty, tasty, flavourful and very British Thyme and Sage Toad in the Hole! Happy Sunday!
Ingredients (serves 2 to 4):
1 1/2 cup plain flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
a heaped teaspoon Dijon Mustard
2 1/2 cups semi-skimmed milk
4 (100-gram/3.5-ounce) good quality pork sausages (like Toulouse sausages)
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 fluffy sprigs fresh thyme
4 leaves fresh sage
Preheat oven to 200°C/395°F.
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Dig a well in the middle and break in the eggs. Add Dijon Mustard, gently whisking while gradually adding the milk, until the mixture is smooth and silky. Set aside.
In a large baking dish, drizzle Toulouse sausages with olive oil and rub them thoroughly. Place the dish in the middle of the oven, and roast sausages, for about 15 to 20 minutes, at 200°C/395°F, turning them occasionally.
Remove thyme leaves from their stalks, and finely chop sage leaves.
Open the oven door, quickly sprinkle thyme leaves and chopped sage in the baking dish, flip sausages on the other side, and pour the Yorkshire pudding mixture. Close the oven door, and cook, for a further 30 to 35 minutes, at 200°C/395°F.
Serve Thyme and Sage Toad in the Hole hot, with a rich Onion Gravy, if you wish.
