Sage and Onion Stuffing Balls

Would a Christmas day be complete without all the trimmings? Stuffing arguably makes the dinner so this classic combination of sage, onion and sausage meat is a failsafe option to add to your Christmas dinner this year. 

Ingredients 

Knob of butter 

1/2  small onion 

375g-400g of sausage meat 

3 large sage leaves 

80g fresh breadcrumbs 

Salt and pepper

Method 

1. Melt the butter in a pan on a medium low heat and add the onion, you want to cook it for about 10 minutes until it has softened but not gone brown. Allow it to cool. 
2. Blitz the bread to make your fresh breadcrumbs and finely chop the sage leaves. 
3. Put all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl and combine, it’s best to get your hands in there but if you’d prefer not to get messy you can use a spoon. 
4. Roll the mixture into small balls about 2.5 centimetres in diameter and put on a lined tray. 
5. Stick in the oven at 180 degrees and cook for 30 minutes. Serve straight away with your roast.
