I saw this recipe on Not Quite Nigella and asked the sweetie if I should make it for Christmas lunch. He thought it looked nice so I did. I ended up halving the recipe because we only had a small turkey roll for it to go with, and there was just the two of us. I also didn't end up roasting them as the oven was full and it tasted good enough straight out of the pan.
So here's what I did:
Butter for frying
1 onion finely chopped (I used some leftovers from my bbq)
3 cloves garlic, mashed (I didn't halve the garlic, and I didn't have it in the frying pan long enough without liquid to warrant chopping it - I'm a lazy cook)
Half a pack finely chopped sage (I used the rest of the sage with some sweet potato)
1 shot brandy
200mL thickened cream
150g sourdough bread, crusts removed and blitzed in food processor
Salt/pepper to season
Fry up the onion. My onions were already cooked previously so just needed reheating. Add garlic and sage and fry briefly.
Add the brandy to deglaze, then the cream and bring to a simmer.
Add the bread and stir so that the onion and cream mixture mixes well with the bread.
If you want you can use the mixture as a stuffing, or cool and form into balls that you can then roast for like 20 minutes. I just reheated the mix just before lunch was ready.
It was delicious! Super simple and very tasty. I'd definitely make this again.
