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 lightly grease an oven tray large enough to hold all the stuffing balls.
- Mix Ingredients: Place the pork sausage meat, dried cranberries, and finely chopped cooked chestnuts into a large bowl and mix well with your hands until everything is thoroughly combined.
- Shape Balls: Divide the mixture into 16 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Arrange the balls evenly spaced on the greased oven tray.
- Bake: Cook in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until the stuffing balls are golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- For a casserole style, lightly grease a deep-sided oven dish approximately 15 x 24 cm (6 x 10 inches), place all stuffing mixture inside, press down lightly, and bake for 30 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- You can also use this stuffing inside a turkey, chicken, or duck. Stuff it into the bird’s cavity and cook according to your usual recipe, ensuring that the stuffing reaches piping hot temperature throughout.
- Use high-quality pork sausage meat for best flavor and texture.
- Ensure chestnuts are cooked and finely chopped for even distribution in the stuffing balls.
- If dried cranberries are not available, dried cherries or raisins can be used as an alternative.
