INGREDIENTS
SERVES: 12 balls
800g sausage meat
350g cooked dice onion
100g cooked diced chestnuts
75g dried breadcrumbs
5 leaves of chopped sage
2tsp salt
3tsp cracked black pepper
100g dried cranberries (or your preferred dried fruit)
8 juniper berries chopped (optional)
METHOD
1: In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked diced onion to the sausage meat and mix in to help loosen the sausage meat.
2: Add the remaining ingredients into the bowl (add about ¾ of the breadcrumbs to start with and add more if needed) mix and fold everything together
3: When all mixed, divide and shape into 12 balls (each about the size of a golf ball).
4: Heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan to a medium heat. Add the meat balls and regularly turn the balls whilst cooking until golden brown all over and cooked all the way through - around 15 mins should be enough. Don’t overcrowd the pan, cook in two batches if required.
5: Once cooked lift out of the pan and rest, then serve.
