Chestnut and cranberry stuffing

(18 BALLS)

Chestnut & Cranberry Stuffing is a delicious accompaniment to roast dinners, as a sandwich filling or as a side in ready meals. However preparing the required ingredients can be time-consuming, especially during manufacturing.

Cooked and Prepared Ingredients

This vegetarian stuffing recipe uses ready-to-use ingredients that can help reduce production time, saving resources, money and energy.

Simple swaps such as fresh onions for prepared ambient onions can remove small tasks such as chopping and caramelising, without compromising any of the required flavours. They also offer a longer shelf life and require cheaper storage, saving even more in costs.

Other time-saving ingredients used within the recipe include our cooked chestnuts, pureed garlic, chopped dried cranberries and chopped parsley.

Not Just For Christmas

Many in the UK consider chestnuts to be a delicacy for the festive season, they are used in our favourite stuffing recipes, roasted on the roadside, and enjoyed in many festive side dishes. However, we wholeheartedly believe they should be used all year round. There are so many recipes that chestnuts can be used in to offer dairy-free or meat-free alternatives.

Although this stuffing recipe would be perfect for your Christmas roast, we think it’s far too yummy to just be a Christmas treat. We’ve decided, Chestnuts are now #NotJustForChristmas.
