Apple, Pear & Fig Toad In The Hole

Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp Apple, Pear & Fig Chutney
  • 285 ml milk
  • 115 g plain flour
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3 free-range eggs
  • 8 good quality sausages
  • 4 tbsp sunflower oil

Method

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 240 degrees.
  2. Add the sunflower oil to a deep baking tin & place on the centre shelf of the oven. After around 5 minutes, or when the oil is very hot, add the sausages & return to the oven. Carefully turn the sausages in the oil until the sides are golden.
  3. Meanwhile, crack the eggs & whisk into the milk. Sift the flour into a large dish & gradually add the milk & egg mixture, whisking with a hand or electric mixture until smooth & all the flour is combined. Add the Apple, Pear & Fig Chutney & pinch of salt to the batter mixture.
  4. Remove the baking tray with the sausages in from the oven & pour over the batter. Return the tray to the oven & leave for about 20 minutes with the door closed for the batter to rise & become a lovely golden brown colour.
  5. Serve with greens, apple cider gravy & more chutney on the side!
