Sausage, sage, prune and onion stuffing

The two best stuffings are either sage and onion stuffing or sausage and prune: this one contains both!

Stuffing is one of those dishes that can be flavoured all sorts of ways, be it vegetarian or meaty, served whole like a loaf or formed into balls (but rarely served actually stuffed inside the bird as it takes so long to cook through). This is our favourite of all time – rich and savoury with a bouncy, light texture, fragranced with sage and with a hint of sweetness from the prunes. It might not be the most beautiful thing on the table, but it more than makes up for it in flavour.
