Festive tray bake stuffing with cranberries, pancetta, herbs, and bread - perfect for turkey, pork, or chicken. Delicious!
Ingredients:
  • 65g (1/3 cup) dried cranberries
  • 1 lemon, rind finely grated, juiced
  • 1 brown onion, chopped
  • 100g pancetta slices, coarsely chopped
  • 1 pane de casa or vienna loaf, unsliced
  • 2 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 20.00 ml fresh thyme leaves, plus extra sprigs, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan forced and lightly grease a 3cm-deep, 23 x 28cm baking dish.
  • Mix the cranberries and lemon juice in a bowl, allowing the flavors to meld until ready to use.
  • In a frying pan over medium heat, sauté the onion in oil until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the pancetta and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and let it cool.
  • Trim the crust off the entire loaf of bread carefully to avoid removing too much bread. Tear or cut the bread into 2-3cm pieces. Combine with the pancetta mixture, soaked cranberries, lemon rind, egg, and thyme. Season well and mix until fully combined.
  • Pour the stuffing mixture into the dish. Lightly coat the top with oil. Bake it for about 25 minutes or until it turns golden and crispy. Garnish with more thyme leaves and serve while hot.
