Cranberry, Sage and Onion Stuffing

(Serves 6-8 with leftovers)

Ingredients:

• 4 onions, finely diced
• 10 fresh sage leaves
• 50g butter
• 250g breadcrumbs
• 250g sausage meat (optional)
• 250g cranberries
• 100ml milk
• 2 cloves garlic
• Salt and pepper

Method

Begin by finely chopping the onion and garlic, frying them in butter on a medium heat until soft for approximately 10 minutes.

Next add in the sausage meat, cooking for 10 minutes, until thoroughly cooked. Then add the breadcrumbs, cranberries and milk. I recommend using a blender to mix this up, before adding in the sage, salt and pepper.

Set the stuffing mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper that is laid on top of tinfoil. Then roll the mixture into a sausage-like shape and twist the ends, so it resembles a Christmas cracker (6ins long by 4ins wide). Then place onto a greased tray to put into the oven at 180C for 30 minutes.
