Madeira, cranberry and chestnut add another dimension to this simple Christmas Day stuffing recipe, which can be stuffed inside a turkey or served separately.
Ingredients - Serves 8
- 100g dried cranberries
- 120ml Madeira
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 leek, finely chopped
- 200g chestnuts, finely chopped
- 1kg good quality sausage meat
- 1½ tsp salt
- 5 sage leaves, finely chopped
- 2 tsp parsley, finely chopped
- 50g bread crumbs
- 1 egg yolk
Method
-
Soak the dried cranberries in the Madeira and leave to one side.
-
Fry the shallots in the vegetable oil. Add the garlic, leeks and chestnuts, cook until softened. Transfer to a bowl and allow them to cool.
-
Tip the dried cranberries and Madeira into the frying pan and reduce the Madeira until it creates a thick syrup. Transfer to a bowl and also allow it to cool.
-
Combine the cranberry and chestnut mixture together along with the sausage meat, salt, sage leaves, parsley, bread crumbs and the egg yolk.
-
Use to stuff a turkey. Or, bake separately in a lightly greased and base-lined loaf tin at 180°C for 25-30 minutes.
- The stuffing can also be shaped into a large ‘sausage’, wrapped in foil and steamed in a Miele steam oven at 100°C for 25 – 30 minutes until cooked through.
