Stuffing

Stuffing is a mixture of vegetables, bread crumbs and a variety of other ingredients such as meats, herbs and spices, stuffed inside a whole bird or a rolled joint of meat such as pork for cooking. It contributes to even cooking and absorbs many of the meat's natural flavors during roasting.

Some stuffing recipes are not physically stuffed into the meat, but are cooked separately and served as a side dish. These often incorporate sausage meat, onions and other ingredients, to replace the flavours that would normally come from the meat.
