roast chicken with black pudding and tomato jam

8 November 2012 by Dominic Franks

…a decent gravy is a thing of beauty isn’t it… I must be honest and say that I rarely bother because I normally have to consider vegetarian options and so usually plump for the easy route with a quick mix of stock and gravy powder and then pour in any of the juices, coming off whatever meat I have roasting, into a separate cup just for me… but when the good people at Mermaid Cookware sent me a wonderful hard-anodised roasting tin which is ideal as it is specifically created to withstand the transfer from oven to hob I simply had to give it a go… they even sent me this link to a very simple gravy tutorial  so I had no excuses.

… I do feel very spoilt this week as I also received an incredible delivery of very fine, quality meat from Westin Gourmet, a British on-line butcher who delivers fresh meat to the UK from their suppliers based in Smithfield Market… they sent me their First Time Visitor pack which as you can see from the link is packed to the gills with an outstanding selection of cuts of meat, sausages and a lovely corn-fed chicken… I feel very privileged to have been asked to become a Westin Gourmet quality checker to ensure the freshness of the product and quality of the packaging and i’m glad to report that the produce is exceptionally good and I was particularly impressed by the standard of the delivery… delivering to a small village in the middle of nowhere can be tricky at the best of times but the effort the delivery company went to to ensure I received the meat was second to none…

… so, lucky me and lucky you as you can expect some delicious recipes over the next few weeks…

roast chicken with black pudding and tomato jam
black pudding is all the rage now isn’t it… it’s very much a ‘marmite’ product I find and I tend to hang out with the ‘love it’ gang and quite frankly can’t get enough of the stuff… when roasted with other meats it tends to breakdown and make a very rich gravy, so perfect for this… plus it’s British Sausage Week this week and so i’m doing my bit in the way I know best… i’ve also used some of my tomato and chilli jam which has added a nice depth of flavour to everything…

1 medium corn-fed, free-range chicken
1 medium onion – roughly chopped
2 medium carrots – roughy chopped
1 black pudding sausage
6 garlic cloves
fresh rosemary and thyme
2 tablespoons tomato and chilli jam

for the gravy
1 tablespoon flou
a glug of white wine
half a pint of veg stock

– pre-heat the oven to 170C

– boil the kettle and then carefully pour the boiling water over the chicken in a bowl and leave it to sit, covered in the water for 5 mins

– place the vegetables in the bottom of your baking dish and lay the chicken on top, breast side down, place a few pieces of onion in the belly of the bird, season well and bake in the oven for 1 and a half hours, depending on the size of your chicken.  I turn my chicken onto it’s back half way through and pour on a little water from the kettle

– 15 mins before the end take the dish out of the oven and smother the bird in the tomato jam then place it back into the oven until done

– once golden and cooked, take the chicken out of the pan and set aside, covered in foil.

– place the pan, with the vegetables still in, onto a hot hob and throw in the flour and with a ballon whisk, stir around letting the flour cook and absorb all the lovely juices

– add the wine and continue to stir as it bubbles and then after a few mins throw in the stock and lt it bubble again for another couple of minutes

– now take a hand-blender and whiz the whole lot together into a thick gravy

eat and of course, enjoy!

    You have achieved world domination in the chicken category for sure. Growing up we had a chicken dinner every Sunday after we came home from Mass. I have a huge soft spot for delicious moist chicken dishes. Looks mouthwatering.

    How delicious. I do love black pudding(and marmite too!) This is a great idea. I once tried a recipe from a celebrity chef where you stuffed the black pudding under the chicken skin . . . it was horrid. This recipe is how I like my black pudding!

    Decent gravy IS a beautiful thing!! And this is definitely a thing of beauty! At times like this, I wish I could reach into my computer and grab a nice big plate full of that chicken!!

    Oh yes, now ow on earth am I going to be able to top that lush looking gravy when I come to use my mermaid roasting tin and post the review, this is a very tempting post when I have been living off rations all week! Although, I did cooked with black pudding today, a hot-pot! Karen

    Delicious as ever. There's nothing like a good gravy. I had no idea that black pudding was all the rage – I'm so out of touch. Good news, though, because I love the stuff.

    Love chicken and gravy but definitely no to black pudding!! I love gravy though and tend to drown my roasts in gravy if I can 🙂

    I'm not a black pudding fan (too rich for my delicate sensibilities – ha!) but there's a chap in my life that would love this combination!

    Gosh that loves lovely, Dom. I'm not really a meat eater but I love the look of this simple, massively flavour-packed recipe and will pass it on to Mother-in-law as Dad-in-law LOVES chicken and black pudding. Gorgeous, drool-worthy images too. And, as I need a new roasting pan (for my veggies!!) I will have to check this baby out. Nice post.

    I bow to you oh chicken master! My mouth is watering! This is my kind of chicken & I love gravy (don't make it much either). You made me smile with your “glug of wine” comment! I love a good glug!

    Perfect roasting pan too, they can feel free to send me one anytime! LOL! I'm looking forward to seeing what else you have cooking!

    Once again, I am reminded that you just can't beat a nice roasted bird with a gravy to die for!

plum-in-the-middle, ground almond cake -a mumspira plum-in-the-middle, ground almond cake -a mumspiration 

This is one of those cakes that comes together so easily and tastes utterly divine. A little like a cross between a pudding and a cake, which is always my favourite kind!

Roast Turkey Dinner So we couldn’t have it for Roast Turkey Dinner

So we couldn’t have it for Christmas and we couldn’t have it for Easter but now that mum’s finally here we’re going for that other traditional meal, Friday Night Dinner!

Just a classic roast stuffed turkey crown with pheasant breast and classic pork, sage and onion stuffing, served with all the timings of course, and some Christmas decorations thrown in to add to the festivities and religious confusion!

Veggie Spring Stew with cheddar herby dumplings T Veggie Spring Stew with cheddar herby dumplings

The weather here in the UK has been so bizarre.  One minute it was really warm and sunny and the next minute the temperature dropped and it even snowed yesterday.  Today we woke up to a hard frost and then the sun came out. So it's time for something warming and hearty and this Spring stew with cheddar dumplings is exactly what we need. I realise that there's probably no such thing as a Spring stew but I've used a few fresher veg rather than all root veg to make it lighter.  Spring onions, green beans and courgettes feature in here as well as some stunning new Mallorcan potatoes which are just divine.

Jerusalem Bagels These are no ordinary bagels, t Jerusalem Bagels 

These are no ordinary bagels, these beasts are bagels on steroids! I only really started making regular bagels a year ago and I do love them, although I still only rarely make them as they can be quite fiddly. They remind me of growing up and eating them on a Sunday morning with smoked salmon and cream cheese, or egg and onion. 

Jerusalem bagels are really only a bagel in the broadest sense of the word. As in, they have a hole in the middle and they're a traditional Jewish bake but really, it's quite a simple bread dough and it doesn't get the 'boil before bake' that the traditional bagel gets so they don't have that chewy texture. However, they are a delightful bread and they do make for a great 'egg in the hole' brunch dish, which I think would be perfect for eating al fresco with friends now that the weather is warmer, and we can enjoy life outside.

The original recipe for these Jerusalem Bagels comes from the amazing new book, The Pocket Baking Book by Trevennon Dakota @hamletsbakery

Wild Garlic & Watercress Soup This wild garlic a Wild Garlic & Watercress Soup 

This wild garlic and watercress soup is such an easy classic to make and so tasty. You need to have wild garlic to hand which is fortunate because now is wild garlic season, so time to get down to the local market or if you’re lucky, go and find some out in the wild.  We’re lucky enough to have a little hidden valley near to the cottage that has plenty of the stuff seemingly growing everywhere.  The smell is quite intoxicating it would be hard to mistake it for anything else.  Don’t forget to ask permission from the landowner before you go rooting around! Only take what you need.

Asparagus, Spinach and Sausage Quiche The weather Asparagus, Spinach and Sausage Quiche

The weather has literally gone from summer to winter in less than 8 hours.  I almost feel we should have eaten this quiche in yesterday’s sunshine in the garden and saved our Easter roasts for the cold of today but this is the UK so it’s what we expect and to be honest a quiche works every day! I’m using the amazing fresh hens eggs that my neighbour brought over the other day and Greek yoghurt to make the savoury custard.  The pastry is a cheesy rye and herb shortcrust, which its divine.
