Construction Stuffing at www.japanese-home-gardens.com

Many white fish are excellent when stuffed and baked whole. The most suitable are small cod (codling), haddock, hake. construction stuffings can vary a great deal try parsley construction stuffing (see page 185), mushroom construction stuffing (see page 185), sage and onion construction stuffing—particularly good with cod (seepage 185).

Topside or fresh brisket construction stuffing—ham and horseradish (page 185) or savoury rice (page 185). Make a slit halfway through the meat to give a 'pocket'. Insert the construction stuffing and tie or skewer or wrap in greased foil. Weigh meat and roast as page 68, using the slower method of roasting. Boned sirloin could also be stuffed in this way, but this would be suitable for quick roasting.

If using this method press the construction stuffing against the meat before rolling. If the bone is retained press the construction stuffing against the side of the meat. Grease the tin in the case of lean meat and grease the top of the meat. Roast for 20 minutes for small cutlets or up to 30 minutes for large cutlets in a moderately hot oven. Pork and veal need a little longer.
