Toad-In-The-Hole With Red Onions And Thyme Batter - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 red onion, cut into wedges, layers separated
8 pork sausage
1 teaspoon olive oil
for the batter
100 g plain flour
1 medium egg
300 ml skim milk
2 teaspoons coarse grain mustard
1 teaspoon thyme leaves, fresh

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 200\u00b0C/gas 6. Tip the onions into a small shallow non-stick tin (about 23x30cm). Arrange the sausages on top of the onions, then add the oil and roast for 20 minutes.
While they are roasting, make the batter. Sift the flour into a bowl, drop the egg in to the centre and beat in the milk a little at a time until it makes a smooth batter. Stir in the mustard and thyme and season.
Pour the batter quickly into the tin and return to the oven for 40 minutes until the batter is risen and golden. Serve with steamed carrots and cabbage.
