Instructions
Preheat the oven to 160 Fan / 180 C / 350 F / Gas 4
Mix the ground flax seeds with the water and set aside to thicken
In a large frying pan heat the oil and butter then saute the onion, celery, apples, garlic and herbs for 5-10 minutes over a medium heat until just starting to caramelise
Stir in the flax and water mixuture, sultanas, oats, ground almonds and a good pinch each of salt and pepper and mix well
If you're using an oven proof pan you can flatten the top and put the pan straight in the oven. Otherwise put into a medium, lightly greased baking dish, flatten the top and bake
Cook for 45-60 minutes until firm to the touch
The stuffing can be served immediately or chilled and reheated
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week
Notes
The stuffing can also be chilled before it's baked if you want to make ahead and cook fresh later
