• For the stuffing: heat 50g of the butter for the stuffing in a large frying pan with the oil until the butter has melted. Add the onions and fry for 8-10 minutes until softened and starting to turn golden, stirring occasionally. Stir in the ground coriander and the rest of the butter and fry for another 3-4 minutes to soften and to caramelise the onions a bit more. Tip in the nuts and stir them around until they start to look toasty.
• Remove the pan from the heat and mix in the breadcrumbs, sausage meat, apricots, cranberries, orange zest, sage leaves, egg and some salt and pepper to season. When combined, spoon the stuffing into the tin and pack it down lightly. Cover with a piece of buttered greaseproof paper.

CRANBERRY & SAUSAGE STUFFING LOGS (OAMC)

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan, saute the onion until softened (about 5 min).
• Squeeze the sausage meat from the sausages into a large bowl, then add all of the other ingredients (including the onions),EXCEPT the cranberries and streaky bacon, seasoning well; mix together well by hand.
• (Weigh out 450g of the stuffing and mix a handful of the cranberries into it, then pack this up to use as stuffing for a turkey or to bake on its own. The rest will be used to make the two stuffing rolls).
• To assemble each roll, butter and season a large sheet of foil. Stretch out the bacon rashers slightly with the back of a kitchen knife, then overlap 12 rashers on the foil making a big flat rectangle of bacon strips.
• Spoon half of the stuffing mix evenly over the bacon, leaving a border of about 3cm. Scatter with half the cranberries, then pat the down with your fingers.
• Tuck the long edges of the bacon over the stuffing; then, using the foil to help, roll the stuffing up into a log shape. Repeat to make a second roll. If you like things neat and tidy, you can also using a few pieces of kitchen twine to help hold the roll together.
• Seal each log in greased foil.
• (At this point you can freeze your logs up to 1 month. Thaw before serving and cook up to 1 day in advance, reheat before serving,or just roast on the day you are serving).
• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Put the foil-wrapped rolls onto a roasting tin and roast for 45 minutes Unwrap, draining off any juice, then finish roasting for 15 mins until the bacon is crisp.
• OAMC instructions:The rolls can be prepared up to 2 days ahead and kept, raw, in the fridge, or frozen for up to 1 month. Roast up to 1 day ahead, then reheat, wrapped in foil, for 30 mins while the turkey rests and your vegetables finish cooking. The third portion can be baked in a casserole using the same temp/times as the logs.
