Stuffing Roll Wrapped in Bacon

This is my favourite Christmas recipe! It can be served warm, but is delicious at room temperature. Easy to slice and ideal on sandwiches the next day. I have frozen it very successfully.

Method:

Melt the butter over medium/high heat in a frying pan.

Add the onion seasoned with Green Onion Seasoning.

Stir-fry until just beginning to brown.

Add garlic and stir-fry for 1 minute.

Add the dry Stuffing Mix and stir through.

Decant into a medium size mixing bowl.

Add the sausage meat and mix it in with a small knife.

Beat the egg with the water and lemon juice.

Add to pork stuffing mixture.

Add nuts and lemon zest and stir through.

Leave to stand while pre-heating the oven and preparing the bacon.

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

Lay the bacon strips on a length of baking paper overlapping slightly and alternating top to bottom (see pic).

Lay a second sheet of baking paper (cut to size) over the bacon and roll with a rolling pin over the top sheet to stretch the bacon.

Remove top layer of baking paper.

Spoon stuffing on the stretched bacon and shape into a log.

Wrap the bacon around the stuffing (see pic). Turn so that the join is at the bottom. Refrigerate overnight or bake straight away.

Brush with a little olive oil and bake for 20 - 25 minutes. Remove from the oven. Leave the stuffing roll on the tray to cool.

Can be served, warm or at room temperature, cut into slices.

Delicious with our Peach Apricot Chutney.
