Directions
| Step 1 | Pre-heat oven to 230C/450F/Gas mark 8. |
| Step 2 | Yorkshire Pudding: Empty the flour, salt & pepper into a large roomy bowl. Make a dip in the centre and add the beaten eggs bit by bit, mixing as you go along. Add the water/milk mixture gradually and whisk in between each addition. Keep whisking until all the liquids have been added. The batter may still be lumpy - this does not matter. Cover and leave to rest for up to 1 hour. |
| Step 3 | Place all of the prepared vegetables, except the cherry tomatoes into a large oven-proof baking tray or dish; spoon the oil over the vegetables and turn them over to coat. |
| Step 4 | Roast the vegetables in the pre-heated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until they are soft but still retain their shape and are starting to brown around the edges. |
| Step 5 | Add the cherry tomatoes and then pour the Yorkshire pudding batter over the veggies, and cook for a further 20 to 25 minutes until the pudding is well risen and golden brown. DO NOT open the oven for the first 10-15 minutes or the pudding will DROP! |
| Step 6 | Cut into squares and serve immediately with gravy and steamed Tenderstem® with a little butter. |
| Step 7 | Tip for gravy: if you have some Yorkshire pudding batter left, add a tablespoon of vegetable stock power and some boiling water to mix - you will have a quick and tasty thick, creamy veggie gravy. |
