Full English Breakfast with pork sausages, back bacon, black pudding, chestnut mushrooms and lard-fried bread. Serves 4.

What you’ll doYou will cook eight components in sequence in one frying pan, moving each to a warm oven as it finishes: sausages, bacon, black pudding, tomatoes, mushrooms, and toast. Whilst they rest, you will warm the baked beans in a separate pot and fry the eggs last. Finally, you will plate each component together with the beans and eggs.
