1272. BACON, MACADAMIA and CURRANT STUFFING

60 grams butter, chopped
60 ml olive oil
2 large brown onions, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
250 grams bacon, chopped
3/4 cup currants
5 cups fresh breadcrumbs, made from day-old bread
3/4 cup macadamia nuts, roasted, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 390F. Using a large frying pan, heat butter and oil over medium heat. Add onions, garlic and bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until onions are soft. Add currants and cook another 3 minutes. Combine breadcrumbs and nuts in a large bowl and add bacon mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until combined (use your hands rather than a spoon or other utensil). Press mixture into lightly greased 1/3-cup muffin holes. Bake for 20-25 minutes - stuffing should be firm to touch in the center and golden around the edges. Serve warm or at room temperature with turkey or pork.
