Pine Nut Stuffing Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• For the mushrooms: If your mushrooms caps are very rounded, trim a very thin slice from the top of the caps to help them sit upright for baking. Toss the mushroom caps with the oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
• For the filling: Heat the olive over medium-high heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems, carrot, and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until just soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Scrape into a large bowl, season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and set aside to cool.
• Add the fontina, pine nuts, raisins and parsley to the cooled mushroom stem mixture. Stir in the breadcrumbs until well moistened.
• Pack each mushroom with an equal amount of filling and transfer the filled mushrooms to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is brown and crispy on top, about 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before removing from the baking sheet.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, soak the currants in enough Port to cover for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• When ready to roast the lamb, drain the currants; discard the Port.
• Position a rack in the lower middle of the oven and heat the oven to 400*F.
• In a large bowl, mic the bread crumbs, mint, parsley, olive oil, pine nuts, and currants. Season to taste with salt and pepper, add the beaten eggs and mix well.
• Until the lamb and unroll it. Lay the meat flat and pat dry with paper towels. Trim off any excess fat and, if necessary, butterfly portions of the lamb to make it roughly rectangular and evenly thick. Sprinkle the inside of the lamb with salt and pepper and pat the stuffing evenly over the meat.
• Roll the lamb tightly, from one short end to the other, and tie the roast snugly at 1 inch intervals with kitchen twine.
• Sprinkle the outside of the lamb with more salt and pepper and then set it, seam side up on a rack in a small roasting pan. Gather any stuffing that has escaped and poke it back in at the ends of the lamb roll. Roast until an instant read thermometer inserted into a thick part of the roast reads 125*F to 130*F for medium rare (60 to 70 minuttes). Let rest for 15 minutes, then carve into medium thin slices.

Steps:

• First prepare the stuffing. Heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan, then soften the onion without colouring for 10 mins. Tip into a bowl. Add the pancetta or bacon to the pan, fry for 5 mins until golden, then add the pine nuts, garlic, sage and lemon zest. Fry for 1 min more until fragrant and the pine nuts are starting to brown. Stir in the chopped parsley. Tip into the bowl with the onions, then bind with the crumbs, egg and seasoning.
• Butter and season a sheet of turkey foil or use 2 sheets of foil crimped together to make a sheet about 50 x 60cm. Lay five long pieces of string over the foil like rungs of a ladder, ready to tie the breast together. Arrange the pancetta or bacon in a lattice over the middle of the foil, on top of the string.
• Open out the butterflied breast, skin-side down, and slash each side several times. Cover with cling film and bash with a rolling pin until the meat is about 5cm thick all over. Trim the sides so that you have a roughly rectangular shape (but be careful not to cut the skin). Lift onto the pancetta, then fill any gaps with the trimmings. Season, then press the stuffing along the middle of the joint. Pull up the sides at one end, tucking in the short end, then tie the string tightly so that the stuffing is encased. Repeat with all the strings. Wrap up tightly in the foil, then turn the roll over so that the pancetta is on the top. Can be left in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Sit the joint in a roasting tin and roast for 40 mins per kg or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out very hot and the juices run clear. Unwrap for the last 10 mins of cooking.
• Lift the joint onto a board and leave to rest, covered, for at least 10 mins. For the gravy, heat the tin on the hob, then splash in the wine and any juices. Reduce by half, then add the stock and repeat. Pour in the cream and bubble to a slightly reduced sauce. Season to taste, then stir in the parsley.
