  2. Toad in the Hole with Red Onion Gravy by BBQ Explorers

    Comments Off on Toad in the Hole with Red Onion Gravy by BBQ Explorers

    Not only is Toad in the Hole with Red Onion Gravy a wonderful autumn/winter family dish, but it’s also great for Halloween! That being said, we bet you never considered making it on the BBQ.

    Well, BBQ Explorers are back and they’ve done it again. Using our Stainless Steel Tri-Ply 35cm Roasting Pan and our Stainless Steel Tri-Ply milk pan, they have created a mouth-watering Toad in the Hole, packed with mustard, rosemary, and thyme.

    Our favourite thing about this recipe is definitely using Pigs in Blanket for the sausages! They used lamb and mint sausages but encourage you to use your favourites because that’s what makes it a family favourite!

    If you want to try it out, then make sure you check out what we love about our Stainless Steel Tri-Ply range here and also the other amazing recipes we have from BBQ Explorers.

    Serves: 6


    Ingredients for Toad in the Hole

    • 12 lamb and mint sausages (choose your favourites)
    • 12 rashers of thin smoked pancetta bacon or steaky bacon
    • 450g semi-skimmed milk
    • 6 large eggs
    • 210g of plain flour
    • 1.5 tbsp wholegrain mustard
    • Fresh sprigs of rosemary and thyme
    • 2 tbsp rapeseed oil
    • 2 red onions, cut into medium sized wedges
    • Carrots and runner beans
    • Potatoes for roasting or mash

    Ingredients for the Red Onion Gravy

    • 200ml red wine
    • 400 ml beef or chicken stock
    • 1 red onion, sliced thinly
    • 0.5 tbsp demerara sugar
    • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
    • 1 tbsp plain flour

    Equipment for Toad in the Hole with Red Onion Gravy


    Cooking Method for Toad in the Hole with Red Onion Gravy

    1. Prepare your bbq for cooking.
    2. Wrap one slice of the pancetta bacon around each sausage.
    3. Add the plain flour to a bowl and then, one by one, add the eggs, whisking as you go. Slowly pour in the milk and continue to whisk it until you have a smooth consistency. Add the herbs, salt/pepper and mustard, and then cover over and store for an hour in the fridge.
    4. Cook the sausages on the bbq until they are browned and then remove them. Next, prepare your BBQ for cooking over indirect heat at 220°C.
    5. Once the bbq is hot enough, add a Stainless Steel Tri-Ply 35cm Roasting Pan and rapeseed oil.
    6. Once hot, quickly add the sausages, onion wedges, batter, rosemary, and thyme. Close the lid and cook for 30 minutes. Definitely, no peaking!
    7. Time to make the gravy! I used my Stainless Steel Tri-Ply 14cm Milk Pan (stainless steel interior), which is an ideal size to use.
    8. Add the oil to the pan and then, once it’s hot, add the onions and cook them until they become soft.
    9. Next, add the demerara sugar and balsamic vinegar. Give the mixture a good stir and cook for 5 minutes.
    10. Stir in the plain flour and cook for a couple of minutes before adding the red wine. Let it reduce for a few minutes before adding your stock and then cook for 15 minutes.
    11. Remove your toad in the hole from the bbq and serve with potatoes, carrots and runner beans.
    12. Finally, pour on your onion gravy and enjoy.

    • 1 red onion
    • 2tbs coriander
    • 2tbs parsley
    • 1 egg

    • 2tsp smoked paprika

    Serve with

    • Grated cheese
    • Rice
    • Guacamole
    • Sour cream
    • Fresh coriander

    Equipment


    Cooking Method for Smoked Mexican Meatballs

    1. Prepare your bbq for cooking with direct and indirect heat.
    2. Mix together the cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, salt and black pepper to create the meatball spice mix.
    3. Finely chop the coriander and parsley and grate the red onion.
    4. Using a food processor or a heavy object, create a fine crumb with the corn crisps.
    5. Add the minced pork, minced beef, spice mix, onion, coriander, parsley and egg to a bowl and give it a good mix with your hands.
    6. Roll small golf ball size meatballs with your fingers and then put the meatballs in the fridge for 30 minutes.
    7. When the BBQ is hot enough, place the meatballs on the cooking grate and cook with indirect heat. Add a handful of woodchips (we used Cherry wood) to the coals to give the meatballs a mild smoky flavour. Cook the meatballs for 8 minutes, so they are browned but not entirely cooked through, and then remove from the heat.
    8. Next, place your sauté pan over direct heat and cook the garlic in rapeseed oil for two minutes.
    9. Add the chopped tomatoes, chipotle paste, sugar, salt and pepper and give the mixture a good stir and simmer for five minutes before adding all the meatballs.
    10. Cook for 10 minutes and then add the roasted peppers and cook for a further 5 minutes. Check to ensure the meatballs are cooked through and then serve with rice and your toppings.
  4. The Perfect Roast Potatoes

    Comments Off on The Perfect Roast Potatoes

    Yes, we know it’s a bold claim, but we really are bringing you the perfect roast potatoes. Rosemary really lifts any roast potato dish, but we recommend sourcing some fresh rosemary if you can (we’ve invested in a rosemary plant because they are so hardy!)

    We all think we have the perfect roast potato recipe but, what’s great about this one, is that it’s vegetarian and vegan-friendly! So, if you don’t believe us, cook them up yourself and let us know what you think.

    Written by Eliza


    Serves: 8
    Prep time: 10-15 minutes
    Cooking time: 45-55 minutes

    Ingredients for the Perfect Roast Potatoes

    • 75ml sunflower oil
    • 2kg floury potatoes, maris piper work well
    • 2 tbsp finely chopped rosemary
    • Good pinch of sea salt

    Equipment

    This recipe features our newest range, Stainless Steel Base, so find out what we love about it here and don’t forget to check out our other ranges too.



    Cooking Method for our the Perfect Roast Potatoes

    1. Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Pour the oil into a large roasting tin and then put in the oven to heat up.
    2. Peel the potatoes and chop them into large even chunks (about 5cm). Place in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Season with a generous pinch of salt, and bring to the boil. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until the potatoes are just tender around the edges.
    3. Once they are ready, you can drain them and return them to the pan. Cover with the lid and give the pan a good shake to rough up the edges (one of our favourite things about our Stainless Steel Base and Copper Base ranges is the vented, glass lids… you can see just how fluffy your potatoes are!)
    4. Take the roasting tin of hot oil out of the oven, and then carefully transfer the potatoes one by one to the hot oil, and turn each one to coat it on all sides as you go.
    5. Roast for 45-55 minutes, turning once or twice during cooking, then season with salt chopped rosemary and serve.

  6. Roast Leg of Lamb with Rosemary and Garlic by BBQ Explorers

    Leave a Comment

    We’re so grateful to BBQ Explorers for providing this recipe! Check them out here.

    BBQ’d bone-in leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic is delicious. It’s a family favourite and ideal for that big occasion any time of year.

    There is something very special about cooking meats over charcoal instead of an oven that will take your meal to a whole new level.

    The marinade is simple to make and full of flavour. All you need is rapeseed oil, a few cloves of garlic roughly chopped and a few sprigs of fresh rosemary.

    Ingredients

    • bone-in leg of lamb
    • 2 tbs chopped fresh rosemary
    • 5 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
    • 200ml rapeseed oil

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Step by step guide:

    1)   In a bowl combine the oil, garlic and rosemary.

    2)   With a sharp knife, slice slits all over the leg of lamb and rub the mixture all over. Place the lamb in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.

    3)   Remove the lamb from the fridge two hours before cooking to get it up to room temperature.

    4)   Set your bbq up for indirect cooking and make sure that the cooking temperature is around 180 degrees C. You can cook this on any charcoal or gas bbq as long as it has a lid.

    5)   Place the marinaded lamb in a Proware-Kitchen roasting pan. To keep the meat off the metal surface you can place a few carrots underneath.

    6) Add the pan to the bbq and close the lid. It’s that simple. I’m a big fan of cooking to temperature and not to time. I use a meat probe throughout the cook so that I know the cooking temperature.

    7)   The leg of lamb is ready once it’s hit an internal temperature between 56 – 66 Degrees C. If you like your lamb medium rare take it off the heat at around 56 Degrees C and if you like it medium take it off at 66 Degrees C.

    8)   Remove the lamb from the bbq, cover with foil and let it rest for thirty minutes before carving. It’s going to be delicious.

    Serve with your favourite vegetables. This is a delicious roast dinner.
