Smoked Pancetta, Orange, Hazelnut & Jalapeno Stuffing
Plenty of us will be peeling potatoes and prepping for a big roast dinner this festive season, so why not add something extra to your meal with a few simple suggestions and a delicious stuffing recipe.
– Add some Haynes Gourmet Cranberry Sauce to your gravy, which brings a perfectly mellow sweetness and a little extra spice.
– Glaze your chicken or turkey with the syrup from the Haynes Gourmet Red Rings.
– Dress the carrots with melted butter, chopped Haynes Gourmet Green Rings and syrup and a squeeze of fresh orange.
For the stuffing, I used gluten free sourdough, but feel free to use your bread of choice. If you are vegetarian, simply omit the pancetta. The other flavours will work just as well on their own.
As usual, let us know what dishes you have been creating with your Haynes Gourmet products, so we can share them. Tag us @HaynesGourmet and sign up to the newsletter if you haven’t already.
I’ll be back in the new year with some new ideas and recipes.
