Giant Yorkshire pudding in truffle oil recipe with red wine and shallot gravy

December 31, 2014 6 Comments Filed Under: Food, Recipes, Uncategorized

My daughter told me that in her first year at university in York, she was served a giant Yorkshire pudding as a main course. Often this is served with some kind of meat stew or gravy. In America a Yorkshire pudding is called a ‘popover’, I believe it is rather fashionable in some restaurants.
This is the perfect dish to insulate you from the freezing weather. I’ve upped the luxury element by dropping the batter into an oven hot dish with a generous splash of truffle oil. Obviously you can use vegetable or olive oil too.
You will need a baking dish measuring 25cm x 20cm (10 x 8 inches).

Giant Yorkshire pudding in Truffle Oil recipe

Serves one or two

150g plain flour
2 eggs, slightly whisked
150ml of whole milk
1/2 tsp of sea salt (or truffle salt)
1/2 tsp of white pepper
3 tbsps of truffle oil

Preheat the oven to 220ºc and place the baking dish inside so that it heats up. Put the flour into a large bowl or stand mixer and whisk or fork through to make it airy. Add the eggs and milk, whisking until it forms a creamy batter. Add the salt and pepper.
With oven gloves, pull out the scorching hot baking dish and add the truffle oil. Put the dish back in the oven and let the oil heat up for a couple of minutes. Then pull out the dish and scoop the batter into the boiling hot baking dish. Replace in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Do not open the oven door. Make the gravy.

Red wine and shallot gravy recipe (vegan)

Makes a medium jug

10 shallots, sliced
3 tbsps of olive oil
1 large clove of garlic, crushed
1 heaped tbsp of plain flour
2 glasses (250ml) of red wine
150ml of hot water
1 tbsp of sherry vinegar or balsamic vinegar
1 tsp of sea salt
A dash of soy/tamari or Braggs amino acids

Soften the shallots in the olive oil in a medium saucepan on a low to medium heat. Once they have started to caramelise, add the garlic then the flour. Stir quickly then add the red wine, hot water, vinegar, salt and soy sauce, stirring all the while. Cook on a low heat until thickened into a gravy like consistency.

Serve the baked hot Yorkshire pud with the gravy.

Happy New Year!

    Scratch the soy sauce. Instead, add a dash of Hendersons. It is a Yorkshire Pudding after all; and there's no better relish than Hendersons. Believe me. Happy New Year to you too.

      I must admit John that I've never heard of Hendersons. I just googled it, a typical Yorkshire condiment it seems!

    I like to make veggie toad in the hole using Quorn or Linda McCartney sausages. This gravy recipe would be wonderful with them. Carnivores shouldn't get all the Yorkshire Puds! Lovely post.

I recently completed the 3 day @heathostile train I recently completed the 3 day  @heathostile training course. On the last day I was kidnapped by ex-special forces for a few hours & learnt how to deal with compliance training & a hostile environment. It was one of the most interesting experiences of my life. 3 intense days of combat first aid, navigation & how to survive in a war zone. I handled short, long guns, mortars, grenades, bullets, and tourniquet & bandaged an amputee. I learnt where to sit in a car, where to hide from a bullet, where to protect myself if in a car. It was brilliant. Highly recommended for any journalists, photographers, cameramen, charity workers, paramedics going into any difficult environment say a disaster or war. The stories from the tutors & the other participants were so interesting. My piece on it out soon. Book a course: https://hostile-environment.co.uk/  They also do jungle & desert training. I’d love to join the Antarctic expedition. Anyway that’s me hooded in the front. #adventures #het #hostileenvironmenttraining #experiences #travel
Bundoran beach, Donegal. I spent a week knocking o Bundoran beach, Donegal. I spent a week knocking on doors, going to libraries, searching through graveyards for my Irish forebears. It’s really hard to find information prior to 1850. I found this in last years trip to Arbroath in Scotland. Headstones wear out, records are lost or burnt in a fire, everybody has the same name and are known by nicknames, successive children have the same first name, that usually means they died and the next one is called by the same thing. Women did have children out of wedlock, and people remarried more often than you’d think, plus families fall out & never see each other again. I learnt that my Irish great grandfather michael went to Glasgow & met a woman who came from a similar place: somewhere wild & beautiful by the sea. Then they and their children came to london. Chasing the work & the money always. Politics and economics matter for they push people around from rural to city. And now we rodgers are Londoners. #ireland #scotland #family #travel #roots

I’ve taken down the previous post as it’s poor I’ve taken down the previous post as it’s poor timing considering what’s happened over the last 24 hours. Being British I’ve not grown up around guns. It’s interesting to be on this course and find out more about the reality of them, although my focus is learning the ‘golden triangle’ of first aid, communications and navigation. But at the same time It’s depressing how in America nothing will ever change regarding gun law. RIP.
