Notes
1. This recipe can be made in two ways. Here in the UK we tend to form stuffing into balls and bake on a tray in the oven. If you're looking for this method, you'll need to soak the stuffing mixture in stock for 5 minutes before forming the balls. I'd also really recommend really squidging the mixture with your hands a few times before forming the balls. This helps to break down some of the bread which helps to hold the stuffing together. If you're after a US style scoopable dish of stuffing, simply put the mixture in your dish of choice and pour over the vegetable stock before baking.
