Co-founder Xa presents a versatile Christmas stuffing, based on a Good Food Magazine recipe, which you can also wrap, roll or serve in a bun if it's leftovers all round. Dulse adds a cheeky oomph to the pork, topping up your umami wow factor, and a saltiness to complement the deliciously sweet yet tart apple.
The real beauty is, this recipe can be made in advance and frozen or refrigerated - one less thing to do on Christmas Day.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 dessert spoon Dulse
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 slices bread (stale will do)
- 1 apple, peeled and grated
- 50g dried cranberries
- 50g pistachios
- 30g butter
- 200g Specially Selected Pork, minced
- Small handful sage leaves, finely chopped
- ½ tsp mixed spice
- 1 egg
METHOD
- In a food processor, whizz up the bread for approximately 30 seconds until it resembles chunky breadcrumbs.
- Chop the cranberries and pistachios into rough, but smallish pieces. This will help the stuffing balls to stick together better.
- Melt the butter in a frying pan on a medium heat and sautee the onion, stirring frequently until soft and translucent; approximately 5-10 minutes. Add the breadcrumbs and stir, making sure they absorb all the fat. Allow to cool.
- Combine the minced pork, Dulse, grated apple, cranberries, pistachios, sage leaves and mixed spice. Add the breadcrumb mixture and the egg to bind, and stir thoroughly.
- Roll into balls about 3cm across and place on a baking tray. For maximum flavour, cover in cling film and refrigerate for 24 hours.
- Heat the oven to 200C and put the stuffing balls on a high shelf, making sure you turn them approximately every 10-15 minutes so they brown all over.
