Ingredients

55g butter
2 tbsp olive oil
4 onions, finely chopped
3 celery stalks, finely chopped (optional)
15 fresh sage leaves, minced
250g breadcrumbs
1 tsp Salt
¼ tsp pepper

Instructions

Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat along with the olive oil. Once melted, add the onion and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and translucent, about 10-15 minutes. Add the sage and cook for further 2 minutes until sage is fragrant.
Remove from heat and add the breadcrumbs, salt and pepper. Gently toss until well mixed.
At this point it can be used to stuff a turkey or chicken. Otherwise, transfer stuffing to a baking dish and bake in a preheated 180°C/350°F/gas 4 oven for 20-30 minutes, until the top is golden and crisp.
Stuffing can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated after adding the breadcrumbs. Bake for an extra 10 minutes if still chilled.
