With a perfect blend of buttery breadcrumbs, zesty orange, savory spices, crunchy macadamia nuts, and sweet dried cranberries, this stuffing recipe will elevate your dining experience. Its simple yet flavorful ingredients make it an ideal side dish that both beginners and seasoned cooks will enjoy preparing.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 onion
160g
4 cups bread crumbs
360g
2 tbsp orange zest
30g
1/2 cup spice mix
72g
1 cup macadamia
150g
1/2 cup dried cranberries
72g
1 egg
50g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Roughly chop the macadamia nuts.
- Zest the orange.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl.
2. Toast the Bread Crumbs:
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bread crumbs to the skillet and toast them, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown. Remove the bread crumbs from the skillet and set them aside.
3. Cook the Onions:
- In the same skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent.
4. Combine Ingredients:
- Once the onions are cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the toasted bread crumbs.
- Add the orange zest, spice mix, chopped macadamia nuts, and dried cranberries to the skillet.
- Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly combined.
5. Bind the Stuffing:
- Pour the beaten egg over the mixture and stir quickly to combine. The egg will help bind the ingredients together.
6. Cook Until Heated Through:
- Continue cooking over low heat for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the stuffing is heated through and the egg is fully cooked.
7. Serve:
- Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
- Transfer the stuffing to a serving bowl or use it to stuff your favorite poultry dish.
8. Optional:
- For extra flavor, you can add fresh herbs like parsley or sage before serving.

Tips:

- Make sure the bread is slightly stale or toasted to avoid a soggy texture in the stuffing.

- Chop the onion finely to ensure even cooking and distribution throughout the stuffing.

- Toast the macadamia nuts lightly to bring out their natural flavor and add extra crunch.

- Whisk the egg before adding it to the mixture to ensure it is well incorporated.

- Adjust the spice mix according to your taste preferences; you can make it more savory or mild depending on your preference.

- If you prefer a vegetarian version, consider using a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water) as a substitute for the egg.
