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

(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.
