Christmas Stuffing Recipes
Stuffed Prosciutto Bites
Method:
Add the sage leaves and bread into a multi-mixer and blitz into breadcrumbs.
Cook the chopped onion in the butter until golden brown and set aside to cool.
Run the pork through the multi-mixer to make sure it is fine ground.
As the onions cool, mix the bread, onion and pork to make the sausage meat stuffing and form into bite sized balls along with the sherry if you wish to use it, season to taste.
Grease or oil the inside of an 8 or 12 cupcake tin , cut the ham slices in half and place around the oiled hollows of the cupcake tin making sure there are no gaps in the covering. Place the pork balls into the lined hollows. Cook in a pre-heated oven 390°F (200°C) for 20 minutes or so or until the ham feels crisp and the meat is cooked inside.
Alternatively, you can freeze by wrapping the tin in cling film then foil, before putting in the freezer, but don't cook from frozen.
The cheat's way of doing this would be to skin some sausages, mix with a pack of sage and onion stuffing and pop in the lined cupcake hollows.
Stuffed Red Onions
Remove them from the oven once cooked, let them cool down then gently scoop or push from the bottoms to remove the centre hollow. Try to leave two layers of onion when doing this.
Chop the onion centres finely and mix with the sausage meat and bread crumbs into a paste, you can even add a little dried sage if you wish. Fill the onion shells with the stuffing and roast in the oven until the stuffing is cooked, around 20 minutes.
Stuffed Bacon Rolls
Parmesan and Lemon stuffed Pancetta rolls
Method:
Fry the onion, celery and leek in a pan with a good knob of butter. Once brown add the Rosemary, cook for a couple of minutes then set aside the mixture in a bowl.
Stir the breadcrumbs, lemon zest, parsley and grated Parmesan into the cooling onion, celery and leek mix, add the beaten egg, season with salt and black pepper.
Make 12 short stumpy sausage shapes with the mix. Spread out the Pancetta slices and starting at one end roll them up so as to wrap the mixture inside. The mix should be short enough to allow you to fold in the sides in order to make sure the stuffing is sealed inside the rolls.
Place the rolls on an oiled baking tray and place in a preheated oven at 390°F (200°C) for 15 to 20 minutes or until crispy and golden. Serve warm.
