Ingredients

10 oz Onion, peeled and finely sliced
1 lb Parsnips, peeled, cored and finely sliced
2 oz Butter, melted
14 oz Sausagemeat
1 Clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp Sesame seeds
1 Apple, peeled cored & cubed
2 tsp Lemon thyme leaves, chopped
1 tbsp Parsley, chopped
3 oz Fresh breadcrumbs
2 Eggs

Method

Saute onion & parsnips in butter over a low heat for 15 minutes until soft. Remove.
Fry together sausagemeat, garlic and sesame seeds for 5 minutes. Stir all of the time.
Drain any fat and add the sausagemeat mixture to the parsnip & onions in a large mixing bowl. Crush together well with a potato masher. Beat to blend well. Alternatively, use a food processor for this step, but don’t over-process.
Add the apple, eggs, breadcrumbs, parsley and thyme.
Bake in a hot oven for approximately 1 hour.
