Recipe: Pork, pistachio and pancetta stuffing cups

by Leave a Comment

When I mentioned my love of stuffing the other day, I thought – why not revamp my stuffing cup recipe? It’s a great way to make a roast dinner go a little further when you have guests – be it on a Sunday afternoon or for your Christmas in July party. And so, I present to you my recipe for ‘Pork, pistachio and pancetta stuffing cups’.

I definitely think this recipe highlights our family’s love for pork. Did you know that pork is the most commonly consumed meat worldwide? It wouldn’t be Christmas in July without a big roast ham and a couple of these pork, pistachio and pancetta stuffing cups.

However, I know that pork isn’t to everyone’s taste – in fact, my brother in-law doesn’t eat pork when we whip it up on Christmas Day. So if pork isn’t what you want on your fork, then maybe head back to my Christmas stuffing salad {which can easily be made vegetarian as well}.
