Kale Stuffing with Italian Sausage and Herbs

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 large red onions, diced
  • 2 x 20cm celery sticks, diced
  • 1 pound of Prime Cuts Sweet Italian sausage
  • ½ loaf Artcaffe sourdough bread
  • ¼ cup fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup sage, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 cup finely sliced kale
  • 1/3 cup finely sliced parsley leaves
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cube chicken stock
  • Salt & Pepper

METHOD

  • Start by separating the sausage meat from its casing. To the sausage meat add a drizzle of Olive Oil and the fresh thyme, sage, and rosemary. Mix well to combine.
  • Using your hands, break up the sourdough and place it into a blender. Pulse on high for 3-4 minutes until you get rough breadcrumbs. Set aside.
  • In a hot frying pan, brown the herb-sausage meat mixture for approx. 5-6 minutes and set aside.
  • In the same frying pan, fry the onions with 1 tsp of salt till translucent. Next, add in the celery and fry for another 3-4 minutes on low heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the sausage mix back to the frying pan and mix well.
  • Finally, add in the kale and parsley and cook for 1-2 minutes until both leafy greens have wilted.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, chicken stock cube, and a drizzle of water together. Set aside.
  • To assemble the stuffing, place the sausage mixture into an ovenproof dish and top with the sourdough breadcrumbs. Using a spoon, roughly mix the breadcrumbs into the sausage mixtures until they are evenly distributed throughout the dish.
  • Drizzle over the egg mixture and top with a few sage leaves and rosemary sprigs.
  • Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for approximately 30 minutes till the stuffing is set and crispy on top.
