You will Need
| 1 packet | sausage meat | |
| 1 | onion | |
| 8 cm | bread | fresh or dried |
| mixed herbs | ideally sage and thyme | |
| optional ingredients |
lemon zest chopped dried apricots or small chunks of apple |
Method
- Make the bread into breadcrumbs, either using a food processor or a grater.
- Chop and slice the onion and mix into the breadcrumbs in a large bowl.
- If using dried breadcrumbs, add a few tablespoons of water, oil, chilli or cranberry jelly or stock to freshen it up.
- Add the sausage meat and a teaspoon or two of herbs (less if dried, more if fresh). Optionally, add the apricots or apples (apples and/or apricots go especially well with pork, lemon and thyme with chicken).
- Mix together thoroughly - ideally with your hands, but a wooden spoon will also do the trick.
- Drop the mixture into a baking tray, and bake in the oven for 45 mins at 200°C.
Halfway through the baking stir the mixture to ensure it gets crisped evenly. Alternatively, it can be stuffed into the meat to be roasted. Stuffing baked inside the meat will be more moist and less crunchy than a mix baked loose.
