3/4 cup pine nuts
60g butter, cubed
1/4 cup olive oil
250g bacon, roughly chopped
2 large brown onions, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
5 cups breadcrumbs
3/4 cup currants
1/3 cup fresh thyme leaves
Cook nuts in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat, stirring until golden. Remove to a plate.
Add butter and oil to pan. Heat over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, or until hot. Reduce heat to medium. Add bacon, onions and garlic and cook, stirring, for 10 minutes, or until onions are soft.
Combine breadcrumbs, currants, thyme and nuts in a large bowl. Add bacon mixture. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Cool completely before using to stuff turkey (see related recipe).
Alternatively, preheat over to 200°C. Press into a greased 6cm deep, 21 x 10 1/2cm (base) loaf pan. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden and firm. Turn out and slice.
