kaszanka Pizza (It's not a Pizza really!)

kaszanka Pizza (It's not a Pizza really!)Kaszanka is a Polish blood sausage which you'll find in most Polish shops. It tastes like a cross between Black Pudding and Haggis with a slightly more moist texture. Roasted with a selection of vegetables the sausages themselves have a tendency to break down, leaving you with a very hearty 'Soup'.They generally cost a little over £2 per Kilo pack so they are less than half the cost of a British gourmet sausage and for two people you'll easily have sufficient for two good meals.
 
The pizza component is actually nothing more than a giant Yorkshire pudding. You can buy a Yorkshire pudding mix from most supermarkets for less than 50p and all you need to do is add a couple of eggs and water. Just make sure your oil is smoking hot!
 
Ingredients:-
 
8 thick Kaszanka  Polish blood sausage
1 small Onion
1 finely chopped Carrot
2 cloves of Garlic (Crushed)
½ a shredded Savoy Cabbage
2 Vegetable stock cubes, enough to cover the Sausages
Grated Cheese (Cheddar)
 
For The Yorkshire Puddings (GF) A Yorkshire Pudding mix from the Supermarket will work fine if you don't need the Gluten Free version.
 
140g of GF plain flour
50g of Cornflour
140ml of semi skimmed Milk
3 Eggs
A dash of cold water
Sat & Pepper
Vegetable oil
 
Method:-
 
(1) Preheat the oven to 200C.
(2) Place the Sausages in an oven proof dish.
(3) Cover with the Onion, Carrots and Garlic.
(4) Add the Vegetable stock making sure the Sausages are covered.

Giant Yorkshire Pudding:-
 
(1) Turn the heat up to 220C.
(2) Place vegetable oil in a baking tray and heat until smoking hot.
(3) Add the Eggs to the Milk and whisk.
(4) Mix the GF Flour and Cornflour and season with Salt and Pepper.
(5) Add the Flour mix a little at a time to the Egg and Milk mix whisking it as you go.
(6) You should aim for a smooth runny texture.
(7) Add straight to the hot Oil and place on the top shelf of the oven for about 30 minutes. Until the Yorkshire Pudding has risen and golden brown.
(8) In a large pan reheat the Sausage mixture adding a little water if it seems too thick.
(9) Add the shredded Cabbage and simmer for about 10 minutes until the Cabbage has softened.
(10) Remove the Yorkshire Pudding from the oven and add the Sausage mixture to the middle.
(11) Heat the grill.
(12) Sprinkle grated Cheese over the Sausage mixture and place under the grill until it melts. Take care not to burn the top of the Yorkshire Pudding.

Christmas giving - Eat well on Universal CeditWe're not really doing Christmas this year. We don't have the money to buy lavish presents, which would probably not be appreciated. Also it seems perverse knowing , as we do, that folk are out there living homeless and often dying. 
 
We have bought gifts for Sue's daughters and my nephew and sent cards to our nearest family and friends. We are however celebrating the fact that we have a roof over our heads and we're not in a tent in The Ings worrying about the rising water level.
 
We are doing everything we can to help the homeless and the charities and groups who are supporting them. Mostly we do this in the background and as much as possible out of sight.
 
So this Christmas we would like to invite our friends to make a donation. 1p would be great, a few more pence would be even better. But please don't feel obliged. All proceeds go directly to The Salvation Army and a select group of homeless charities. If it wasn't for the work and assistance of The Salvation Arm we would still be in a tent and Sue would most likely be dead. Without her I'd be dead anyway.....
