Rapeseed Oil Producers' Recipe Ideas

You can't beat a classic English Toad in the Hole on a dreary Sunday afternoon. Which is why we spoke to leading rapeseed oil producers, Larchwood Foods, who let us know about a healthy twist on the British Classic - Toad in the Hole.

Ingredients:

  • 2 whole eggs
  • 2 egg whites
  • 200ml whole milk
  • 150g plain flour
  • 2 tbsp of rapeseed oil
  • 8 sausages
  • Salt & Pepper

Cooking Instructions:
To create the batter, place the milk, eggs and egg whites into a jug. Pop the flour into a separate bowl. Whisk the liquids into the flour until you have a smooth batter mix - move this aside for between half an hour and 2 hours.

Pour the rapeseed oil into a metal tin, along with the sausages to roast for roughly 10 minutes. Remove the tray, and whilst the rapeseed oil is still bubbling-hot, pour the batter mix into the tin. Place the tin into the oven for around 20 minutes, until golden brown.

Whilst the Toad in the Hole is cooking you can rustle up some fresh veg and gravy. Serve together on a pre-heated plate. Bon appetit!

Larchwood Foods, the leading UK rapeseed oil producers, said that by simply swapping out olive oil for rapeseed oil, you can add that healthy kick to a variety of meals. This is thanks to the nutritional benefits offered by rapeseed oil when compared to various other vegetable oils, such as olive oil. For example rapeseed oil contains half the saturated fatty acids of olive oil!
