Because of my dietry quirks, I sometimes end up making a dish with ingredients that are so far removed from the original that you wonder if you can really call it the same thing. But tonight I really wanted to eat toad in the hole. I craved the soft stodginess of the middle and crisp edges of the outside. The salty flavours in the egginess of the batter. Now I have made veggetarian toad in the hall quite succesfuly with Quorn sausages before, but that wasn't what I wanted tonight. No. Tonight I wanted roasted veggies.
I started with a past its best aubergine, half a butternut squash, some almost at the end of their useful life mushrooms, a few cherry tomatoes and a couple of onions that were chopped into small pieces, tossed in rosemary infused olive oil and then roasted for 30-40 minutes at GM7. Whilst that was cooking I whipped up a batch of this Gluten Free Popover (US term for Yorkshire puddings) batter which I've used in the past. Combined the two in a large baking dish, back in the oven at GM8 for 15 minutes, and then down to GM4 for another 10. Meantime I whipped up a little batch of onion gravy to go with it - although my SO declared that the toad was better without as you got the full flavours of the veggies.
