Print Recipe

Mary Berry Sage & Onion Stuffing is a baked breadcrumb-based mixture seasoned with sautéed onions, fresh sage, herbs, butter, and stock. It is traditionally served alongside roast meats and can be baked as a separate dish or used to fill poultry cavities. The texture is soft, aromatic, and deeply savoury.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium onions, finely chopped

  • 50g unsalted butter

  • 150g fresh breadcrumbs

  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

  • 100ml vegetable or chicken stock

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • Optional: 1 grated apple or 50g chopped walnuts for extra flavour

Instructions

Step 1 — Sauté the onions

Melt butter in a pan over low heat. Add chopped onions and cook gently for 8–10 minutes until soft and translucent without browning.

Step 2 — Combine dry ingredients

Add breadcrumbs, sage, parsley, dried herbs, salt, and pepper into a large mixing bowl.

Step 3 — Add onions and egg

Tip the softened onions into the bowl and mix. Pour in the beaten egg to help bind the stuffing.

Step 4 — Add the stock

Pour in enough stock to create a soft but firm mixture. It should hold its shape when pressed.

Step 5 — Transfer to baking dish

Spoon the stuffing mixture into a lightly greased baking dish and smooth the top.

Step 6 — Bake to perfection

Bake at 180°C (160°C fan) for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and crisp.

Step 7 — Serve warm

Enjoy the stuffing alongside roasted meats, gravy, potatoes, and vegetables.
