Dudes, this is another killer recipe for you guys. Don’t worry, it isn’t really a toad. In a hole. No. It is actually a very traditional British recipe that has stood the test of time – also pretty cheap, easy and rather tasty if I have to say so myself.
The interwebz are full of them Toads in Holes. Any sausages can be used for the “toads” and a delicious Yorkshire Pud-like batter is used to bake the sausages in.
In my version, I used Biltong@za‘s home made Russians. Yes friends. The Russians teams up with the Brits here, and this tangy spicy and salty sausage gets engulfed in a delicious batter; which contains chilli flakes, crispy bacon bits and rosemary. Yes, yes and yes.
The best part? It all cooks in one pan. Oh, and, Biltong@za stock these amazing Russians, made with their own special recipe. These guys just get it.
Guys (and girls), it doesn’t get simpler and cheaper than this. It is rather comforting and definitely made my books as a staple no fuss dinner idea. Don’t add any salt to your batter, as the Russians are pretty salty themselves and you have bacon in there too. Be sure to try these amazing Russians from Biltong@za, I know I will be stocking up!
