Shopping List

• ½ a large loaf of stale, unsliced bread
• Olive oil
• 3 medium onions and a small handful of fresh sage leaves, roughly chopped using the Large Bowl fitted with its Chopping Blade
• 750g good-quality sausage meat
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Optional: a handful of roasted, peeled chestnuts, or a handful of dried fruits such as sour cherries or apricots, roughly chopped using the Small Bowl fitted with its Chopping Blade

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Cut the crusts off the bread and cut into large pieces. Using the Large Bowl set with the Chopping Blade, add the pieces of bread and mix until you get even crumbs.
2. Put a large pan on a medium heat with 2 generous helpings of olive oil. Add your onion and sage mix to the pan and cook gently until soft and golden.
3. Add your breadcrumbs to the pan and stir through, adding enough water to moisten the crumbs completely, but being careful not to add too much liquid. At this point you can add any festive optional extras, like chestnuts or dried fruit.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and spoon the contents into a large bowl to cool down completely. Once cooled, mix the sausage meat into the onion mixture and season well with salt and pepper.
5. Put the stuffing into an oil-rubbed dish and bake at the bottom of the preheated oven for 50 minutes, until really golden and crispy on top.
6. Serve with your roast meat, veg and gravy and enjoy!
