Apple, Sausage and Sage Stuffing
As far as I am concerned, a Roast is not complete unless it has some good quality stuffing to go along with it. This apple and sage stuffing will outshine anything you have had before. The sausage meat gives it a juicy pork flavour, the apple a subtle sweetness and the butter fried onions with fresh herbs give it a mouth-watering depth of flavour that will seriously raise your roast game. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed!
