The Farmer's Traditional Sunday Roast

Like most farmers Brian is very keen on his Sunday roast. When he is unable to have it on a Sunday he hopes to get it the day before! He is pretty traditional in his tastes but I do try and inch in a bit of a twist. This Sunday we had a joint of roast pork. We don't produce our own  so we have just bought in some pork from a neighbouring farmer. There is nothing quite like a fresh joint with some good crackling.


We do of course have our own potatoes to roast (More on the potato planting to come another day).


Traditionally we normally have sage and onion stuffing with pork but today I decided on a variation. When I was watching the television the other day The Hairy Bikers were cooking roast pork. They were cooking a sage and caramlised onion Yorkshire pudding as a side. I didn't have a recipe but thought I would give it a try.


It went down well with some spring greens, carrots and leeks. It was worth a try!

  1. Now that's a joint of pork! Amazing crackling and I'm always quite happy to have Yorkshire pud with any roast. Only ever tried plain though the above sounds very tempting.

  2. Well that all looks and sounds very good! A few sausages in that Yorkshire pudding recipe would make a great toad in the hole for a weekday meal!
