OK folks, not long now to Christmas!  Here’s a lovely stuffing for pork and game or add minced meat for your Christmas turkey!

Ingredients

• 2 Large brown onions chopped
• 60g of butter, lard or dripping, melted
• 2 medium sized cooking apples (peel, core & dice)
• 3 tablespoons of roughly chopped sage leaf
• 250g of mashed potato
• 2 tbsp of toasted breadcrumbs or butchers rusks
• 1 tbsp of jumbo oats
• Pepper to taste

Tip! Before chopping, dip the sage in boiling water to enhance the colour and remove any bitterness

Method

1. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl and choose your own method ….

• You could make stuffing balls by adding an egg to the mix – the balls can be put in the oven with your roast about 20/30 minutes before serving.
• If you want to stuff a roast or a game bird then add another tablespoonful of chopped sage as the juices from the meat will dilute the sage flavour
• If you would like to make a meat stuffing remove some of the potato and add some minced meat. Add little bit more sage and add a little thyme too.

Big thanks again to our friends over at Scotherbs for the recipe
