Stuffing
Making your own minced pork like I've done here really turns your stuffing into something special. It will give you amazing flavour and texture, and it's wicked to be able to see everything you've got in there. Usually I'd sweat the onions off first, but this year I decided to keep it rough and ready, quick and easy. It's basically bish, bash, bosh but with a bit of love, care and intelligence.
