1. Put all the ingredients except the bacon and sage leaves in a bowl. Season well then mix together with your hands and form into 8 balls. Squash each ball to flatten a little, put a sage leaf on top, then wrap with 2 slices of bacon to make a parcel.
2. Put on a non-stick baking sheet and cook at 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 for 30 minutes until golden.

  Very tasty with loads of flavour and went well with the Christmas turkey. Would have worked better if making the balls smaller - 16 instead of 8 with one rasher per ball. K

  I made these for Christmas day and made them the day before and rested them in the fridge. They were delicious and went down really well with our guests. They are really easy to make.

  For a more simple version of this I tend to use pork and apple sausages (rather than adding all of the ingredients), then roll them in pre-pack stuffing mix before wrapping in bacon.

  Perfect for Christmas day. Like elliej I used pork and bramley apple sausages, I made them into smaller balls like KJS (with two thirds of the ingredients I still ended up with 15,) and following Jackie's suggestion I made them the day before which was ideal. They went down very well indeed and also looked great too.
