Who misses out on having an amazing roast dinner on a sunday with all the trimmings?
Not anymore!
Black Farmer do some really nice pork sausages - and not like the free from sausages you get that have more grissle in than meat...these are good quality ones which you can wrap your bacon around for those pigs in blankets (available from any supermarket!)
If you have stumbled across doves farm before, then grab some of their plain flour - make a yorkshire pudding mix - you will need 2 eggs not just the one but then everything else is the same....and you can have lovely home cooked yorkshires to add to that dinner of yours. You just make up the mix as you would any other yorkshire mix. If you are egg free - there is an egg replacement you can get from holland and barratts which will do the trick, and if you are dairy free, then just use water and a bit of either lacto free milk (which is the closest to normal milk you can get), Goats milk if you can have it, or just water and some of the alpro soya milk and cream to thicken it up a bit.
Dietary specials make their own frozen yorkshires, which are ok, but they have that weird gluten free taste to them and are a bit hard so have taken to making my own. You can also use this mix to make pancakes - I have found that gluten free pancakes don't really taste much different when made yourself to normal pancakes!
Now gravy - most gravy contains wheat I know.. but Bisto have brought out a new gravy you can buy in any supermarket... its the bisto in the glass jars... it is made on a line that has had wheat on before, but it doesn't contain wheat. but then thats the same as dairy milk having to say that they may contain nuts because some of their chocolate has been made in the same place as nut stuff... but i have been using this and found it to be fine.
Tesco/sainsburys are also now stocking Mrs Crimbles gluten free sage and onion stuffing - and dumpling mix if you like your stews. The stuffing needs more water than it states as having them a bit more soggy helps them not to get that dryness that a lot of gluten free food has - e.g. crumbles - adding more butter/margarine or dairy free spread to your crumble mix will prevent it from becoming more dry.
The dumplings were a bit weird though - Me and my husband didn't really like them...but still had to eat them... weird flavour and texture, but give it a go.. your taste buds may be different from mine.
Hope that helps in time for christmas!
