COOKED PORK RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Spending a bit more time on your spuds and trimmings takes this sausage and mash recipe up a notch.
  2. Cook the potatoes in simmering water for 15 minutes, or until cooked through. Drain, cover and set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, add a lug of oil to another saucepan and add the leeks. Sweat gently for about 5 minutes, until soft. Add the milk and bring to the boil then turn the heat off and add to the potatoes. Mash well and season to taste. Cover and set aside.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium. Add a splash of oil to a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the sage leaves until crisp. Remove and set aside. Add some more oil to the pan and sauté the onions for 5 minutes, then add the cranberries, cinnamon and a splash of water. Simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring, until the onions are soft and the chutney has reduced. Add the ginger and vinegar and cook for 30 seconds. Season, then remove the cinnamon stick.
  5. Meanwhile, pop the sausages under the grill for 15 minutes, turning, until cooked. Serve with the mash, chutney and sage leaves.

Steps:

• GET AHEAD 1. Peel the onions, wash and trim the leeks, then finely chop them (saving the green leek tops for soup or stew). Pick the sage leaves, keep 2 nice big ones aside, then finely slice the rest. 2. Place a large frying pan on a medium heat with 1 tablespoon of oil and the butter. Finely slice and add the bacon, fry until lightly golden, then stir in the sliced sage, followed by the onions and leeks. 3. Finely grate in half the nutmeg, add a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper and cook for 15 minutes, or until soft, stirring occasionally. Leave to cool. 4. Toast the bread, then whiz it to crumbs in a food processor with the chestnuts and tip into a large bowl. Add the cooled onion mixture, the minced pork shoulder and drained peaches. 5. Using your hands, really squash and squidge everything until well mixed. Put 250g of the stuffing mixture aside to stuff the neck of your turkey (click here for the turkey recipe), then pack the rest into an appropriately sized oiled baking dish. 6. Flatten it down and use your hands to almost tuck the stuffing into the dish, so it mounds up in the middle. 7. Halve the clementine, then push the halves into the top of the stuffing, cut side up, placing 1 reserved sage leaf on each half and drizzle with 1 more tablespoon of oil. Cover and pop in the fridge. ON THE DAY 8. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C/350°F/gas 4 for 45 to 50 minutes, or until golden, gnarly and cooked through.
