Top tip for making Sage and onion stuffing
Sage and onion stuffing tastes great with vegetarian dishes such as nut roast.
It's always helpful to tick a few recipes off of the to do list before the big day. If you want to make your stuffing in advance you need to follow specific rules so that it is still safe to eat. To make it in advance you either need to freeze it, or cook it immediatley. You should not refrigerate uncooked stuffing. If you've opted to freeze your raw ingredients you should cook these from frozen when ready to use. The other alternative is to prepare all of your ingredients but do not mix your wet and dry ingredients together until ready to cook.
Yes stuffing can be reheated for you to enjoy warm, but should be done only once so if you're not going to eat it all make sure you portion it out. For best results you can reheat your stuffing in the oven, just place it into a baking dish covered with aluminum foil to avoid burning. Pre-heat your oven to 180° and once ready you can put your stuffing in for 30 minutes.
