Sage and Onion Stuffing
Ingredients
2 onions
tbl spoon dried sage
1 small stale Turkish loaf made into breadcrumbs
1 tbl spoon butter (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
1 egg

Method

1. Peel the onions; finely chop put them into a little boiling water with the sage, simmer for 5 minutes.
2. Drain and place in food processor with butter breadcrumbs, egg and seasoning or alternatively mix by hand.
3. Blend or mix into a heavy paste (if to dry add a little water).
4. If you are using this to stuff meat or poultry then it is now ready for use. Alternatively roll into suitable size balls and place in a suitable greased baking tin and cook in the oven (175c) for about 20 minutes until slightly brown on top.

Merry Xmas:D
