Apricot, sausage, sage & almond stuffing

Preheat the oven to 220ºC, gas mark 7. In a small frying pan, melt the butter over a medium heat, add the onion and garlic, season and cook until soft (about 7 minutes). Stir in the chilli and cook for a further 1 minute, tip into a bowl and set aside to cool.

In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Season, add the cooled onion mixture, then mix to evenly combine. In the same frying pan, cook a small amount of stuffing, ensuring no pink meat remains, and taste it to check the seasoning. Lightly grease a length of foil, put the stuffing in the middle and roll into a sausage shape.

Put on a baking tray and cook for 20-30 minutes until cooked through and no pink meat remains. Unwrap and cook for a further 10 minutes until golden. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
