This is a classic stuffing and I got the recipe from my Granny. She copied it out for me a few years ago, so when I was down at the Farmers’ Market and I saw some sausage meat I knew it was that time again.
This is such a simple recipe with great results. I have recently become a little more friendly with my blender. Some might say too friendly. I just can’t believe how much easier it makes things. When you have poor circulation in the extremities, the thought of chopping an onion into a billion pieces is not enticing.
Ingredients
What you will need (for 10 large stuffing balls)
- 450g sausage meat
- 1 large onion
- Zest and juice 1 lemon
- 1 slice of stale bread
- Sage leaves – as much sage as you feel like
- Seasoning
Method
Put everything but the sausage meat into the blender until it is finely chopped. Turn out into a bowl and mix the sausage meat in with your hands. Season and add the lemon zest and juice.
You can leave the sausage meat until you need it. Divide into whatever size you please. I whacked mine in the oven next to my Pigs in Blankets. For those who have not a clue, a pig in a blanket is a sausage wrapped in bacon. Preferably smoked bacon. They are possibly the greatest use of a pig I know of.
I love this…I can only imagine the flavors! Great for parties or just stuffing my face.
I love sage, love it. It’s so underused – and you can’t go past classic with cooking anyway – this looks delicious.
I love that you got this from your granny – I used to always get mine to copy out recipes for me, you get the best recipes that way eh?
I agree, the best recipes come from Grannies
This is what I am going to have next Friday on Xmas party, and I hope it will be as appetising as yours. Never made my own, as every year we use to go to Poland during the Xmas, this year for a change we are staying in Yorkshire, so I am hoping to try some of British Xmas delights.
What a delicious combination of ingredients! looks simple!
This looks wonderful. It’s totally different than what pigs in a blanket are in the U.S. and I think I like it more! Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Belinda – I’d say make some, get a fork and snuggle up in front of the TV.
Emma – I thought it was just my Granny who liked copying up recipes!
Ilke – I’ve got many more where this came from.
Karolina – I hope you enjoyed it.
Dimah – The oldies are the goldies!
Mom Chef – What are pigs in blankets on your side of the pond?
