Herby Mustard Yorkies Recipes

HERBY MUSTARD YORKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. In a bowl, beat the flour and mustard powder with the eggs until you have a smooth, thick batter. Gradually beat in the milk until the batter is the same consistency as single cream, then stir in the herbs, and season.
• Pour a drizzle of oil into each hole of a sturdy 12-hole muffin tin. Put the tin in the oven and heat for 5 mins. Working quickly, remove the tin and pour enough batter into each hole so that it comes two-thirds of the way up the sides. Carefully place the tin back in the oven and cook the puddings for about 20 mins until they are puffed up and brown.

MUSTARD YORKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put 1 tsp oil in each well of a 12-hole muffin tin and heat in the oven for 6 mins. Meanwhile, tip the flour and some seasoning into a large, wide jug or a bowl. Beat the eggs with the milk and mustard, then gradually beat into the flour mixture until it makes a smooth batter.
• Pour or ladle the batter into the tin, taking care that it doesn't splatter up and burn you. Bake for 25-30 mins until well risen and golden - try to keep the door closed, as this will help you get a good rise on the Yorkies.

MUSTARDY HERBY PORK BUTT

Steps:

• The night before you're going to cook, unwrap the pork butt and pat it dry. Season it liberally all over with salt and leave it uncovered in the fridge overnight.
• The next day, mix the mustard, herbs and garlic in a small bowl. Slather the mixture all over the pork butt (really get in there). Let it sit for an hour or so on the counter.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot. Sear the butt 5 minutes on each side to brown. Remove the pork from the pot to a sheet tray. Pour in 1/4 cup of the wine and scrape up all the brown bits as the wine starts to boil. Kill the heat.
• Put the pork back in the pot. Add the chicken stock and the remaining 2 cups wine. (These are the liquids I use but, TBH, you can roll with what you have. Water is ok too!) Put into the oven and cook for 3 hours, or until the roast internal temp is 175 degrees F (start checking it around 2 hours). If using a multi-cooker, put the pork along with all the pan drippings, wine and chicken stock into the pot. Set the pot to high pressure/natural release for 50 minutes.
• Turn the oven temp to 450 degrees F or turn on the broiler. When the pork temps at 175, remove it from the pot and onto a sheet tray with a rack. Pop the pork in the oven or under the broiler to crisp it up. While the pork is crisping, put the pot with all the cooking liquid over high heat and reduce it by half.
• When the pork is GBD, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the string and slice into finger-width pieces against the grain. Top with the reduced sauce and serve with hunks of crusty bread and a big ass salad.
