What to do with Yorkshire puddings

greenpixey

Can I use Yorkshire puddings for anything else besides Sunday lunch? (Stupid question perhaps, but for those who doesn't know; I'm Swedish and still learning how to cook British food. So please be kind )

I got 8 large Yorkshire puddings in my tiny freezer that takes up room and needs to be eaten.
We ripped our kitchen out some month ago and have not yet put a new one in so I'm limited on work surface and a lot of my cooking utensils are packed away in boxes. So if there are any simple dishes where I can use the Yorkshires up....

If they're the round ones bought from the supermarket they can be filled with a mixture of cooked mince,onion,tomatos (sort of bolognaise sauce) or sausages cooked and added to a mixture of tomatos,onions, a crumbled oxo cube and mushrooms.
Cook either the mince mix or sausage mix and pour it inside the yorkshire pudding and serve with some green veg. and potatos

You can have sausage & mashed potatoes with yorkshire puddings.

Or - as mary43 suggested, fill them (after they're cooked). You can fill them with any meat in gravy or a mixture of veg in gravy, etc. Cook the meat/veg in gravy separately and when they are both ready, put the gravy mixture in the cooked yorkshire pudding and voila! Serve with some type of potato on the side like mashed potato.

They're nice with sausages and onion gravy (mashed potato too if you're hungry!).

If they're the ones that are about 7-8 inches across you could fill them with the above (serving mash separately) or with minced beef or lamb in gravy, casserole, chilli con carne or even curry (I haven't personally tried the last two).

I like yorkshire pudding with Lyles golden syrup drizzled over --as a pudding.

How funny - three of us at the same time said sausages, mash & gravy. Looks like you've got a winner, there!

Firstly, I now feel a bit guilty about my current avatar & signature. OTOH, he is probably the 5th most well-known Swede after the members of Abba, and I have a bad feeling that more Brits could name him than could name all of them.

To make amends, the classic British version of this uses a Cumberland sausage, also from the north of England. It is longer than a normal sausage and curled into a ring, so is ideally suited to being served in a round YP. Again, add mashed potato, onion gravy and mixed veg' as well. I serve everything in the YP, sort of like an edible plate.

As with all sausages, use good quality ones. The more meat in them the better. There are few tastier foods than a meaty, herby British sausage. There is nothing worse than a bland, mass-produced tube of pink stodge.

I would go for the golden syrup or strawberry jam.

My first thought was to go for the golden syrup, like moggitymog, but Mr P was reading over my shoulder and his immediate reaction was to fill them with cream and cover them in chocolate sauce(?!).

He assures me that they are not dis-similar to profiteroles and are quite popular in restaurant kitchens with the staff - his reasoning..."golden syrup is an ingredient so you don't get leftovers of that, but there is always leftover cream and chocolate sauce to go with leftover yorkshire puddings...".

My initial thought was "yuck!" but the more I think about it, the more I suspect I am going to have to try it out...purely in the name of research, you understand!
