Ingredients

Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩‍🍳 method for this recipe


Mise en place

  • Chop the cranberries and soak in the port for at least 1 hour
  • Preheat the oven to 190° C (375° F - gas 5), [fan oven 170° C & reduce cooking time by 10 mins per hour]

Method

  1. Gently fry the onion garlic and bacon in the butter for about 6 to 8 minutes.
  2. Allow to cool, then using your (clean) hands mix with the remaining ingredients.
  3. Once well mixed, add the egg and mix in well. This helps the stuffing to bind together properly.
  • either:

  1. Roll into 20 balls and bake alongside your roast - make them even nicer by rolling in melted butter first.
  2. 35 minutes is all they need when cooked as balls.
  • or:

  1. Butter a small oven dish and pack the stuffing into the dish (about 5cm thick)
  2. 40 to 45 minutes should be enough when coked in a tray

Serving suggestions

These also make nice nibbles served cold!

Chef's notes

Make them before the event and freeze them (uncooked).

Defrost properly on the day you want to use them.

Breadcrumbs: If you have a food-processor you can make fresh breadcrumbs really quickly. Just tear up a few slices of good quality fresh bread, place in a food processor with a metal blade and pulse a few times until they look right. I find that fresh bread is far better than stale bread for this.

Roasting the chestnuts: Cut a slit in the chestnuts so they don't pop and grill for about 10 to 15 minutes, turning now and then. Allow to cool then peel and chop.

Variations

Port: If you don't have port to hand, use a combination of sherry, wine or even a dash of rum or brandy.

Use a mixture of dried fruit with the cranberries - finely chopped apricots work well.
