Stuffing Starter
Who doesn’t love stuffing?! Well here’s a little tip to help take you one step closer to having yummy stuffing almost ready in an instant, well, on standby at least. I’m talking about my Stuffing Starter. An easy layered mix of herbs, nuts, and spices to keep in a jar or give away as a gift that only needs combining with a handful of other wet ingredients to the next fragrant and flavourful level! As if stuffing wasn’t yummy enough already, you can eat this as is, stuff or roll your choice of roast meat, or make one of the best inventions I’ve experienced in the last year, Stuffins! Easy recipe below, make it your own by flavouring it with your favourites ingredients, as always.
