… Yorkshire Pud, Beets & Asparagus
There are a handful, a very small handful, of meals in the book that I don’t feel particularly inspired to cook. This was one. I’m not really sure why but it just isn’t that exciting to me. This really isn’t that bad when there are 115 meals to cook and only about three that I’m not overly keen to cook. I have cooked this one now because I feel I need to get at least one of these done in the early part of the project to make sure I’m not left with all of them at the end.
This recipe requires that you cook the Yorkshire pudding in a frying pan. The pan goes on and some rosemary is added. You make the batter in a liquidizer or in my case as I don’t have one (yet) it was done in the food processor which did an adequate job. This recipe says that the Yorkshire pudding needs about thirteen minutes in the oven. You also cook it in the pan for 30 seconds. This means that the batter needs to be in the pan at no later than one minute and thirty seconds and in the oven at the two minute mark and no later. It was. Just.
The rest of the meal was quite easy and relaxed. I knew if I got the Yorkshire pudding in on time that everything would be fine. I had the time to deliberately make my board look as close photograph in the book as possible.
Once I started I really enjoyed cooking this meal. It all came together quickly and well. It was on the table in less than fifteen minutes. This tasted great.
Despite my not being excited about cooking this it was fun to cook and it tasted really nice. I think I may do this again. There were only two of us tonight and to be honest we were quite greedy and we eat most of this between us. I would say that this would make a nice lunch for four but a dinner for three.
How long: Fourteen minutes and twenty three seconds
