Stuffing is not only a great way of seasoning a roast from the inside, it also soaks up the roasting juices to produce a flavour which is in total harmony with the rest of the meal. It can be served warm or you can allow it to cool and serve it in slices as a splendid addition to any picnic.

400 g
white breadcrumbs
100 ml

method:
- Dice the onion and fry it gently in the butter.

- Fill your chicken, Goose or Turkey with the stuffing before placing it in the oven.
recipe notes:
Stuffing: You can place the stuffing beside your meat roast instead of inside it. This reduces the weight of the roast and the cooking time. Remember to weigh your roast after you have stuffed it so you can calculate the roasting time.
