Stuffing Balls
1 tbsp tablespoon butter, plus extra for greasing the drip pan
1 brown onion, finely diced
2 pork sausages, skins removed
4 slices stale bread, blended into bread crumbs
2 rashers bacon, finely diced
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tbsp tablespoons cranberries, roughly chopped
2 tbsp tablespoons pistachios, roughly chopped
5 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1
In a saucepan on the side burner or stove top over low heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and fry for a few minutes until golden and just beginning to soften. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and set aside to cool.
2
Prepare the barbecue for indirect cooking over medium heat (180°C to 230°C). If using a Weber Q barbecue, set up your barbecue with a convection tray and a trivet.
3
Once the onion is cooled, mix with the remaining ingredients. Using heaped tablespoons worth of mixture, roll into balls.
4
Put the stuffing balls into a drip pan that has been lightly greased with butter. Roast the stuffing balls over indirect medium heat, with the lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cooked through.
