stuffing - how do I make it?

[AnyDream]

I don't know how to make "proper" stuffing (I don't "do" breadcrumbs).

The few times I have bothered to stuff, I use either rice or couscous, and add all sorts of other yummy things - spices, bacon, onion, garlic, chorizo, herbs, citrus, dried fruit - whatever. Add a good splosh of oil before you pack it in cos that is what carries the flavour.

Otherwise you could always cheat and get the packet stuff at the supermarket LOL.

I'm assuming that you're talking pre-cooked rice or cous cous.

I didn't know it came in a packet - that sounds a bit scary (then again, DH loves KFC so he might think it's delicious).

[AnyDream]

Yes precooked. It doesn't stick together like the breadcrummy variety but it's yum.

There is a cheats stuffing recipe on taste that uses a packet mix plus a few extras. But it's really not that hard.
Couscous stuffing would be yum MD.

[AnyDream]

ANge, your mum's recipe sounds yum! I guess I could always substitute couscous for the bready part.

[Junglemum]

Absolutely. Or rice. It's my fave part of roast chicken.

Hi guys
Just wanted to add that the packet stuffing at the supermarket is actually quite good ( Im a simple girl). I add other things to it like garlic, walnuts or pine nuts. Yum!
