Bonfire Banger Bake and Toffee Apple Gravy

If you could sum up bonfire night in one dish, this would be it.  Our new Catherine Wheel Sausage layered over puff pastry looks seriously impressive, but couldn’t be easier.  Whilst it’s baking, you’ll caramalise apple slices and stir them into a rich gravy to serve with buttery mashed potatoes and greens.  All you need now is a pack of sparklers!

Dark evenings are made for sweet treats and puddings.  This easy stove top rice pudding is dairy and refined sugar free.  Make a big batch at the weekend to keep your sweet tooth satiated throughout the week.  For a special treat, try customising with different toppings.
