Ingredients

  • 2 tsp olive oil, plus extra for greasing
  • 200g chestnut mushrooms, halved (quartered if larger)
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • 3 garlic cloves, sliced
  • ½ x 20g pack sage, half leaves finely shredded, half left whole
  • 180g pack whole chestnuts
  • 2 tbsp Cooks' Ingredients Porcini Mushroom Paste
  • 50g soft white breadcrumbs
  • 1 unwaxed lemon, zest
  • 450g pork sausagemeat
  • 25g salted butter

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté (or frying) pan with a lid. Once hot, add the mushrooms and fennel seeds; cook over a high heat for 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and shredded sage leaves, then cook for 1 minute. Add 1 tbsp water, cover and take off the heat; set aside and leave to steam for 5 minutes.

  2. Put the chestnuts in a food processor and whizz until roughly chopped. Add the mushroom mixture to the processor, along with the porcini paste, breadcrumbs and lemon zest. Whizz until combined into a coarse paste. Tip into a bowl and allow to cool.

  3. Stir in the sausagemeat, season, then use wet hands to shape into about 16 golf-ball-sized balls (about 60g each). Put on a tray or in a container, cover and chill for 2 hours or overnight. (You can freeze the stuffing at this stage, defrosting thoroughly before cooking.)

  4. Preheat the oven to 200?C, gas mark 6. Roast the stuffing balls in a lightly greased roasting tin for 30 minutes, until cooked through and no pink meat remains. Meanwhile, heat the butter in a small pan and add the whole sage leaves; cook for 1 minute until the butter is golden and smells nutty and the sage leaves are crisp. Spoon the butter and fried sage leaves over the stuffing balls before serving.
