For the Wreath
1lb Sausagemeat, Zest of one lemon, 1 Beaten Egg, 1 Onion finely chopped, 454 g Freeze dried Chestnuts roughly copped, Handful each of Sage, Parsley & Thyme finely chopped.
GARNISH
24 Cocktail sausages, 12 slices of streaky bacon stretched with the back of a knife and cut in half, cocktail sticks and Bay leaves plus Betty Twyford stuffing balls - 24 of them!
For the wreath, place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and combine and season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking tray lined with a sheet of Bake'O'Glide. Shape into a circle with a whole in the middle. O.
Wrap some of the sausages in bacon and roll the remaining bacon into mini rolls. You will have a selection of sausages, bacon roll and stuffing balls in which to decorate your wreath, attaching them with cocktail sticks. Bake in the roasting oven on a grid shelf on the base of the roasting oven for approx 45 mins (check it at times ). If it starts to brown or dry out , cover loosely with baking or greaseproof paper.
Once cooked, let it rest, then transfer to a plate and garnish with bay leaves. IT WILL BE WORTH IT!!
If you look to the left of the picture, the stuffing wreath is there, but then we ate it!!
