The Jon Pertwee Spaghetti Flan still brings me great joy.
Thinking about the fun I had cooking it with my friend Jan of Saucy Seventies Adventures several weeks ago still tickles me and there was a knock-on recipe, if there is such a phrase as a knock-on recipe? Well, I’m sure you know what I mean, basically the Jon Pertwee Spaghetti Flan recipe led me to the Denver Pyle recipe.
It was mentioned in a response to one of Jan’s tweets about the spaghetti flan and naturally I was immediately all over the internet, hunting it down. I had everything I needed on hand, so it was rustled up lickety-split. Stumbling upon this recipe reminded me that I was very enamored of Daisy Duke in my teens. Well, who wouldn’t be?!
Here’s Uncle Jesse’s recipe for baked beans from the 1983 Dukes of Hazzard Annual by Purnell Publishing. I found this in a thread entitled, “Hazzard County cookbook, what would you put in one?” over at Hazzard.net so if you are a fan of the show, skip over there for a few other ideas. There’s a recipe for Daisy’s Terrific Truffles there from the same annual so watch this space…
Ingredients needed PER PERSON
3 slices bread, butter, mustard, 1 egg, 225g (7.94 oz) can of baked beans, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 3 chipolata sausages
DIRECTIONS: Butter the bread on both sides, spread one side with mustard, and cut each slice into 4 triangles. Arrange the pieces, with mustard side facing inwards, overlapping around the edge of an individual ovenproof dish.
Beat the egg(s) in a bowl, stir in the beans and Worcestershire sauce and turn the mixture into the center of the bread. Arrange the sausages on top
then bake the dish at 190 C (350 F) for 20-30 minutes or until the sausages are brown and the bread crispy.
The serving suggestion was to serve with a salad. I just ate the whole lot as it came. DELICIOUS!
Another recipe to add to the growing list of Heinz based fiestas for our Heinz 57 project!
Interesting, sort of a ‘toad in the whole breakfast’ . As they don’t really have the concept of a ‘full English’ over there – Ham & eggs being a sort of equivalent I guess. This is effectively what this is . And fine Dukes style Truck stop fodder it looks too . Salad ? No, some cheddar cheese on top and some hash browns as a side I think.
