Guest Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I want to make my own stuffing for Christmas Dinner this year. It's the last thing on the table made out of a packet (organic of course!) but I want to do my own. So far I have only found recipes with sausagemeat in them. As I might want some myself, I would prefer something vegetarian. Does anyone have something gorgeous I could make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I make one with chestnuts, cranberries and lemon slices with sage and thyme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I make one with chestnuts, cranberries and lemon slices with sage and thyme. That sounds lovely. Could we have the instructions? Ta muchly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I use a basic Sage and Onion mix and then add chestnuts and apricots. I don't have the quantities........... A very finely chopped onion Softened butter Chopped sage leaves Breadcrumbs 1 small egg Mix well together and then add pieces of cooked chestnuts and sliced dried apricots. I make it into balls and place on a baking sheet or into a muffin pan and bake until golden and crisp. I also used it for stuffing the boned chicken I did last week.

The Dogmother Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Roughly the same as Lesley's - not very scientific I'm afraid, but it always works well. I grate the lemon rind and add it to the stuffing mix, just whizz up the other bits, use whole dried cranberries and then add the egg and make it into balls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Thank you both! I'll have a go. It's really lovely getting recipes from friends. I shall think of you as I serve up my stuffing - and turkey - and Nut Roast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I sometimes put a layer in the middle of the nut roast Ginette - and a layer of Cranberry Sauce as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Oh yes! Cranberry sauce in mine for Christmas. Stuffing too, that sounds nice - this'll be the third year I've made your nut roast for Christmas! It goes down really well and everyone wants some (as well as their turkey!) DD2 loves it especially.

Snowy Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 This sounds lovely, will give it a try. For the non vegetarians, could I just add some sausagemeat to the mix? Anyone tried this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I don't see why you couldn't - I've never eaten a meat stuffing though so perhaps someone else will know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Give it a try. There's nothing to lose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Well I was going to try this, but spotted some cranberry, port and sausage meat stuffing from the co-op Took the lazy way out and bought that instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
