An odd name for a recipe? It refers to the very old Simon and Garfunkel song “Scarborough Fair” which has Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme in the lyrics – Which were all in this crusting!
Ingredients:-
2 Slices of (Gluten free in our case) Bread, crumbed
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme – Fresh if you have it, or dried
1 Shallot, chopped
1 Egg beaten
Salt & Pepper
Oil
Method:-
(1) Lightly fry the Shallot until it has softened and set aside.
(2) Whisk the Egg.
(3) In a large bowl combine all the ingredients to form a stuffing sort of texture

(5) Roast at 180c for about 45 minutes.
(6) Remove the foil and roast for a further 10 minutes.
We served this with Sprout Bhaji in a bit (Gluten free ) Yorkshire Pudding, Carrots and Peas, Roast Spuds and lots of Onion Gravy.
(Please excuse the pink plate – it's not in support of Cancer awareness although that is a very worthy cause. We were living in the tent when this picture was taken and using plastic picnic plates!)
