The dish boasts a crispy top and a centre filled with a mixture of tangy sourdough, rich butter, and fresh black kale topped off with fragrant sage. As the smells from the fresh ingredients fill your kitchen with a familiar aroma, you’ll have to restrain yourself from devouring the whole dish (but if the restraint is low, we don’t judge).
Go for a meat-free Stuffin’, this holiday season, with the help of our plant based meat, The Very British Bangers, and impress even the pickiest of critics at your table.
