Hip Hip Hooray! Its British Sausage Week and I am here to celebrate it by sharing a recipe for Toadies With Onion Gravy from Love Pork. I use sausages quite a lot as they are great for the whole family, not only are they versatile but the varieties of flavours available mean they can appeal to a wide range of people. They are great value whatever the occasion and would make a great treat for bonfire night. I use sausages a lot for a quick, easy and tasty option for mid-week meal. Thomas and Daniel love them too which is an added bonus! British Sausage Week is running from today (31st October) to Sunday 6th November. British Sausage Week promotes sausages that are made from quality or Red Tractor sourced pork from Britain. Sausages that depict a Red Tractor logo are traceable and have been produced responsibly ensuring that it is quality food you can trust.
The recipe that I am sharing today is for toadies with onion gravy which is one of British Sausage Week’s featured recipes for 2016. Toadies are mini toad in the holes are very easy and quick for you to make for a midweek meal. Thomas and Daniel loved them as they were able to have two each so it felt like a treat for them.
Place the flour into a large jug, add the salt and pepper, the eggs and milk and whisk to combine. This can be made an hour or two beforehand to save time, just cover and rest it in the fridge until you are ready!
Divide the oil evenly amongst the muffin moulds, add two sausages in each and place the tin in the oven for 5 minutes.
Remove the tin from the oven and ladle in the batter, aiming to fill each half way up the mould. For best results, do this at pace, but be careful as the oil will be very hot!
Place the tin back in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the Toadies are risen and golden brown.
Meanwhile, make the onion gravy. Heat a little oil in a saucepan, add the onions and cook for about 10 minutes, until golden brown.
Add the measured hot water and gravy granules to the onions and bring to the boil. Once thickened, pour into a serving jug or pan.
When the Toadies are ready, remove them from the tin and serve stacked on a board or large platter for good effect.
How do you eat your sausages?
It’s great to be able to trace produce with Red Tractor. That’s comforting. I love these little toadies – my kids will love them too!
These little toads in the hole are so adorable! We love sausages in our house too. I have to try this recipe soon!
I love toad in the hole! Not made any for age though. Your’s looks great!
Thank you. Kids love small bite sized things don’t they?
