Two slices of bread

DON’T MISS
Method
Budding chefs should heat up the oil in a pan that has a tight fitting lid.
Then, finely chop the onions and sweat with the oil until soft.
Add in the chopped thyme leaves half way through the onions being cooked.
Once they are softened, place the food aside on a tray and leave to cool.
These can be placed onto a baking tray and cook until they are crispy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside, which will usually take around 30 to 45 minutes.
Budding chefs can adjust the recipe and add in extra ingredients to taste.
When cooking a Christmas dinner, stuffing can be used for the turkey.
It can also be added to the plate as a filling and tasty side.
