Scale
Main Ingredients
- 350 g pork sausage meat
- 75 g dried cranberries
- 180 g cooked chestnuts, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F and grease an oven tray large enough to hold all the stuffing balls.
- Mix Ingredients: Place the sausage meat, dried cranberries, and finely chopped cooked chestnuts into a large bowl. Mix with your hands until the ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed.
- Shape Balls: Divide the mixture into 16 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Place the balls onto the greased oven tray, spaced evenly apart.
- Bake: Cook the balls in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Check for doneness by ensuring they are firm and cooked inside.
Notes
- To cook the stuffing all together in a dish, lightly grease a deep-sided oven dish approximately 15 x 24 cm (6 x 10 inches), place the mixture into the dish, squash down lightly, and bake for 30 minutes until the top is golden brown and cooked through.
- To stuff into poultry like turkey, chicken, or duck, prepare the stuffing as above without shaping into balls, then stuff into the bird’s cavity, and cook according to your usual recipe ensuring stuffing is piping hot and fully cooked.
