Just the thing to go with roast chicken, after a day of climbing, icing Halloween biscuits (better late than never) and watching the Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
You'll need:
half a small box of sage and onion stuffing
some breadcrumbs (a slice of stale bread will do, or whatever's in the freezer)
a small apple, grated
a handful of raisins
an egg
some hot water
salt and pepper
Stick the stuffing and breadcrumbs in a small mixing bowl. It doesn't matter if your breadcrumbs are frozen - they'll defrost soon enough, and anyway you're going to be shoving them in a 200 degree oven shortly.
Add the grated apple and raisins, and mix well. Beat the egg gently, and bung in the mixing bowl too, along with a little salt and pepper. Add some hot water from the kettle - you're looking for a fairly sticky mixture, but you need all the dehydrated stuffing mix and the breadcrumbs to be rehydrated nicely.
Fashion into balls - I just dollop them out onto a baking sheet. Bung in the oven for 20 minutes or so, until they're nice and brown. Just stick them in at whatever temperature the oven's on for the chicken - they'll be fine.
