Mike’s Savoury Stuffing

Submitted by Mike Davies

 

INGREDIENTS

 

5 or 6 slices of Bread

1 small Onion

Butter

1 tblspn Thyme

1 tblspn Sage

1 tblspn Parsley

1 tblspn Oregano

Garlic granules

 

DIRECTIONS

 

  1. Dry off 5 or 6 slices of bread (leave out on a try the night before).
  2. Break up the bread into a large bowl; then use an electric blender or a grater to make breadcrumbs.
  3. Mix in the thyme, sage, parsley and oregano. Add a little salt & black pepper, and if you like, a dash of garlic granules.
  4.  Finely chop a small onion. Put this into a microwave-safe bowl or jug with 3 large blobs of butter. Add a splash of water. Place in a microwave for approx 1 minute or until butter is melted.
  5. Blend the onion & melted butter into your breadcrumb mix with a fork.
  6. Roll the mix into small balls and place on a backing tray or stuff into chicken/turkey (If you stuff the meat you will need to add approx 30 minutes to the cooking time).
  7. Save some of the stuffing mix. Take a crust of bread; rub both sides lightly with lard or a little cooking oil. Press the stuffing onto the bread side, (this is a fresh crust). Place on a baking tray, crust side down at the top of the oven for approx 15 minutes or until crisp.   

This mix can also be used with a pork joint, and you can put a crust on either end.
