Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C. Squeeze the sausages out of their casings. Cook the sausage meat in a casserole dish over medium-high heat for a few minutes, stirring and breaking it up with your wooden spoon, until the fat starts to render.
  2. Add the butter, diced shallots and chopped celery, sprinkle with the seasoning and sauté for five minutes until they start to soften.
  3. Stir in the garlic, sliced mushrooms and cranberries and continue to cook for a few minutes.
  4. Add the wild rice, chicken broth and bay leaf. Bring everything to a gentle simmer, cover the casserole and bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes or until the rice is cooked through.
  5. Stir in the chopped nuts and parsley and fluff up the rice. Have a taste to check whether you need to adjust the seasoning. Scatter with fresh pomegranate seeds for a pop of color and festive presentation and serve with your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • Note 1: For vegetarian or vegan variations, omit the sausage meat, replace the butter with a neutral oil and use vegetable broth / stock.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to three days and reheat in a pan or the microwave until the stuffing is piping hot throughout before serving.
