Normally when we have a roast on the weekends I don’t make all the trimmings. As it’s nearly Christmas I have decided I’m going to make it all. That includes the stuffing too. Previously I have been reluctant too make sage and onion stuffing. Nowadays it comes in a box that’s packed with gluten. Last Christmas I decided to make my own stuffing. It was so delicious and for me, one of the best bits of the meal. This year I decided to share my recipe with you. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Sage and Onion Stuffing was a delicious side to have with our roast dinner. It was easy to prepare and cook. All the ingredients in this dish are freezable. So you could make the stuffing balls in advance and freeze them. Then you can defrost them and cook them before you want to eat this dinner. They are delicious with roast chicken or roast turkey too. Also, delicious eaten on their own as a snack. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
