Festive Feasts, Green Egg Style
Suet pudding is our favourite way to soak up rich gravy. It might be a little retro, but we’re determined to bring it back into the fold; with a fluffy-yet-crispy texture, it really ties a roast together in a way that you just can’t beat.

-50g melted butter
Instructions
Equipment
–Conveggtor
–Stainless Steel Grid
–Enamelled Dutch Oven
–Canadian Maple Charcoal
Method
Set up your EGG for indirect cooking with the ConvEGGtor in place, topped with a Stainless Steel Grid. Your target temperature is 180˚C. You’ll also need a greased baking dish; it looks lovely in one of those enamelled tin dishes if you’re going for flair.
Sift the self-raising flour into a mixing bowl, then add the suet, baking powder and salt. Mix together. While mixing, add just enough cold water to bring the mixture into a sticky dough. Cover with a tea towel, and leave the dough to rise until almost doubled in size.
Bake the Pudding
Once you’ve removed your roasting joint of choice for resting, gently add the dough to the greased baking dish. Place this in your EGG for 25 minutes. Once the top has crisped up, brush with melted butter and continue to bake until golden brown.
Remove and rest for 5 minutes before carving. Serve alongside the roasted joint as a deliciously different way to mop up what’s left on the plate.
