Cranberry stuffing
Ingredients
Olive oil
1 small onion, very finely chopped
400g apple sausages
75g ready to eat chestnuts, chopped
10g fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp dried sage, crushed
½ tsp dried thyme, crushed
35g white breadcrumbs
Salt
Pepper
85g fresh or frozen cranberries
12 rashers of streaky bacon
Method
Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a frying pan, and cook the onion on a medium heat for 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Cut the skin off of the sausages and put the meat into a large bowl. Add the chestnuts, herbs and breadcrumbs and season with salt and pepper. Mix together until everything is thoroughly incorporated - the easiest way to do this is with your hands.
Put the cranberries into the sausage meat mix and carefully mix through.
To make the stuffing balls, take a large ice cream scoop and scoop up the filling and roll into balls. Take each slice of bacon and stretch it with the back of a knife. Cut each rasher into half and wrap both halves around the stuffing.
Cook for 20-25 minutes until golden.
