Ingredients

  • 2 onions, peeled and diced

  • 100g butter

  • 300g fresh breadcrumbs

  • 1 pack of fresh parsley, finely chopped

  • A couple of sprigs of fresh thyme, picked from the stem

  • Salt and pepper

Method

  1. Put the butter and the diced onions into a large saucepan. Cook on low until the onions become translucent (see-through) and soft.

  2. Once the onions are cooked, pour the breadcrumbs into the saucepan and stir so that they soak up the butter and onion mixture. Add the chopped parsley and thyme, then turn off the heat. Stir well so that everything is mixed together.

  3. Decant into a large freezer-proof container and freeze for up to 1 month in advance of cooking the stuffing. Allow to defrost in the fridge for 24 hours in advance of cooking.
