Sticky pigs in blankets

This simple recipe is perfect accompaniment to a traditional roast turkey Christmas dinner.

Angela Hartnett cooked this recipe for Nick Grimshaw and guest Hugh Bonneville on episode 12, season 2 of Dish, the Waitrose podcast. It was served with a main course of rosemary & black pepper brined wing rib of beef, plus this selection of delicious sides: potatoes dauphinoise, red cabbage & carrot slaw, maple-roast parsnips and carrots, and maple-glazed Brussels sprouts with bacon. Dessert was this mix-and-match tiramisu.
