You Will Need:

  • 1 x 100 g Ina Paarman’s Poultry Stuffing Mix
  • 3 T (45 ml) butter or olive oil
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) boiling water
  • 4 T (60 ml) Ina Paarman’s Tomato Pesto
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • green olives, pipped and cut in half
  • ± 250 g streaky bacon, stretch the bacon with a rolling pin between two sheets of baking paper
  • toothpicks.
  • 1 turkey liver, chopped

Method:

Empty the Stuffing Mix into a medium bowl. Add butter, boiling water and Tomato Pesto. Stir and leave to stand for 5 minutes. Give it another good stir and add beaten egg and turkey liver if using.

Roll a heaped teaspoon of stuffing around an olive half and then wrap it in half a length of stretched bacon.

Secure with a toothpick.

Place in a well-oiled mini muffin pan.

**NB:** Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm the mixture properly.

Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat oven to 180 °C.

Bake for about 20 minutes until the bacon is crispy.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
