Method

  1. Take the slices of bread and blend to a rough crumb. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, add the onion and cook for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the breadcrumbs, sage and nutmeg and cook for a further 5 mins until the breadcrumbs are lightly golden.
  2. Tip the mix into a large bowl, then mix through the parsley and hot stock until evenly distributed; season with freshly ground black pepper. Cover with a tight-fitting plate and set aside to absorb for 10 mins until there is no excess liquid and you have a slightly sticky mixture.
  3. Use lightly damp hands to shape the mix into 12 equal-sized balls, roughly 30g each. Place on the shelf of the air-fryer and cook at 180°C for 8-10 mins until lightly golden. Serve on a plate or platter.

Tip: You can shape these stuffing balls up to 48 hrs in advance, store in the fridge and cook just before you’re ready to serve.
