Bacon & Onion Roly Poly CLASSIC BRITISH dish

Bacon & Onion Roly Poly, a classic British dish, is a savory rolled suet pudding filled with bacon and onions.
The Bacon and Onion Roly Poly has a rich history rooted in British culinary tradition. This dish is a variant of the classic suet pudding, a staple in British cuisine for centuries.
Suet puddings date back to medieval times in England. Initially, they were primarily sweet puddings made with suet (a type of animal fat), flour, and various fillings. Over time, savory versions became popular.
19th Century and Industrial Revolution:** The savory Roly Poly gained popularity during the 19th century, especially among the working classes. The Industrial Revolution saw many people working long hours in factories, and dishes like the Roly Poly were filling, economical, and relatively easy to prepare. It could be cooked alongside a main meal in the oven or steamed, making it convenient.
Bacon and onion became a common filling due to their availability and affordability. Pork was a widely consumed meat in Britain, and onions were a staple in the diet, making this combination accessible to the masses.
During both World Wars, when rationing was in place, dishes like the Bacon and Onion Roly Poly were practical as they could be made with rationed ingredients and still provide a hearty meal.
In its various forms, the Roly Poly has been immortalized in British culture, appearing in literature and songs. It's a dish that speaks to the resourcefulness and simplicity of traditional British home cooking.
While not as commonly made in modern kitchens due to changing dietary preferences and the availability of a wider variety of foods, the Bacon and Onion Roly Poly remains a classic dish that represents a significant part of British culinary history.
With its humble origins and satisfying nature, this dish is a testament to traditional recipes' adaptability and enduring nature through changing times.

Amazing, the whole world thinks the Brits only are capable of cooking fish and chips I'm surprised at the traditional menus this cook comes up with, I'm British decent in Australia and these sort of dishes appeals to the Brit in me.

I've actually had a fair number of these dishes as a child in Australia. Sadly, at the age of nine, I moved to the Netherlands, where my parents originally came from, and haven't had them since.

Thank you for doing this. It is very nostalgic for me. My lovely Londoner mum made this a couple of times a month during winter time when I was growing up.

@@BackyardChef My Nan used to make this using streaky bacon layered and then she steamed it in a massive pot for about 3-4 hours. One of the best parts was after she cooked it we would have a slice whilst it was hot (yummy) or wait until it cooled down then have a slice. However the really great part was cutting of a slice and then frying it, ooohhh the taste was fantastic. Thank you for reminding me about this, I had forgotten how to make this.

I baked this today. I'm low carb and cannot eat pastry, so I prepared my go-to ersatz "pastry" with Mozzarella and cream cheeses, almond flour, and egg. The Roly Poly was delicious, tastier than the sausage rolls I usually make. Love the recipe.

So comforting to come home from a hard days' work and spend next to no time in the kitchen cooking up a treat. The onion gravy topped it all of nicely. Can't wait to try the suet pudding mix but I do need to buy a rolling pin. Good form of punishment when the other half's misbehaving too.

Pouring off the water before the fat starts to appear reduces the saltiness of the bacon.

[@ZenonZolek]

Thanks Rik, would love to try this, I can't find suet on line, Can you give us a link to buying suet?

[@BackyardChef]

Mate you could struggle like me. amzn.to/47FA0zI not sure where you would order from. There are several alternatives to suet that you can use in baking suet pudding. Some of the most recommended substitutes include: Vegetable Shortening: This is the best alternative for suet, especially for vegetarian options. It can be substituted in a 1:1 ratio for suet. For better results, freeze and grate the shortening before use to replicate suet's consistency. Beef Fat: If you are not vegetarian and can't find suet, beef fat is a great substitute. It's available at butchers and can be used in the same way as suet. Lard: Made from pig fat, lard is another suitable substitute. It is easily available in supermarkets. However, it has a lower melting point than suet, so it may not be ideal for every recipe. Vegetable Suet: If you're looking for a vegetarian option, vegetable suet is a great choice. It's made from vegetable oils and can be used in a 1:1 ratio like regular suet. Best, Rik

[@ZenonZolek]

Thank you Rik so much for a comprehensive reply, I make lard from rendered pork fat, didn't know I could use that, you're a champion 👍

[@BackyardChef]

This one is about the self raising flour. Butter will do it at a pinch - I won't recommend that though. Best, Rik@@ZenonZolek

Another fine recipe that is knew to me and I will take on the challenge to make it. It reminds me when the Leeds lads came over last year and, brought some pork pies over from Wilsons butchers in Crossgates. They bring pies over every year but this year they, brought over pork pies stuffed with pork and black pudding. Not for me it spoils the pie. Some of these lads which I know very well are involved in the food manufacturing and supply business in Leeds.

👍 Pastry making is an art not a science - either you can do it or you can't

[@BackyardChef]

I'm Lucky, I've made it for so long and do not hesitate to make pies etc - I don't care for all the butter has to be ice cold and all of that - I have made pastry in some very hot places with meted butter.

[@frankazarelo6903]

Rik, can I use a bread dough and lard instead?

[@BackyardChef]

Its too heavy - you can add baking powder and turn the bread flour into a self raising bread flour which would make it lighter in the cook. So it could be done, however not the same results. Best, Rik

I wouldn't, phyllo dough is a very thin, light, and flaky pastry dough, while suet dough is a rich, dense, and moist dough used mainly in traditional British cooking. However the choice is your and it might make for a great recipe. Best, Rik
