Product Information

This was an important part of growing up and I remember thinking I would always like to make this a thing in my own house when I was older. But there are plenty of options out there, so fear not, save your roast with some of these beauties! All my friends at school and University also had a similar Sunday lunch tradition and it was interesting to see how it varied from house to house.

You'll find the kitchen staple, Oxo cubes, are sadly out of the question (cheers for that, gluten). Spoon out the fat into a bowl. Skimming the fat produces a clearer liquid and allows the full flavour of the meat juices to come through without a fatty or bitter aftertaste. In the meantime, you will have prepared whatever vegetables you are serving as accompaniments. When boiling the roast potatoes, make sure you keep some of the water from the par-boiling, to help make the gravy.Keep simmering until the gravy is of the right consistency and then transfer to a gravy jug. (Optionally, if wanting some variation in taste then add a tbsp of mustard or cranberry sauce). Then use the stuffing to fill the gap between breast and skin. This will help to keep the breast from drying out during cooking. (If you do not have any stuffing, then you can also protect the breast by placing some streaky bacon over the breast area. Remove this then for the last 30 minutes of cooking to crispen the skin).

Carefully pour the roasting juices from the meat pan into a jug and leave to stand for 1 minute. The fat will rise to the surface, leaving the darker, more flavourful juices at the bottom. READ MORE: I tried hot cross buns from Tesco, M&S, Asda, Sainsbury's, and Waitrose and one stood outWhether you call it ‘dinner’ or ‘lunch’ depends a bit on where you are from in the UK. Northerners tend to call the meal in the middle of the day ‘dinner’. I compared a standard tub of Bisto to own brand gravy from Tesco, Asda, Aldi, Lidl and Sainsbury's, and the results were rather surprising. In fact, one was particularly silky and smooth and in my opinion, better than the famous brand. And some of Bisto's gravies also have a 'may contain wheat' warning on them, despite no gluten in the ingredients list. We would scoff ourselves fully, a bit like at Christmas, and then relax on the couch and invariably fall asleep! Competing Student’s Mum’s Sunday Lunches
