This contemporary side dish offers a fresh take on classic festive flavours. Bacon rashers are spread with mustard and wrapped around party sausages and dried apricots, which can be soaked in port for extra richness. These parcels are then threaded onto skewers with fresh bay leaves and roasted until beautifully golden. It's a simple yet visually impressive addition to a holiday meal, designed to serve a gathering of 10 people.

Ingredients

8-10 rashers streaky bacon halved
1 tbsp ready-made English mustard
16-20 small party sausages
16-20 ready-to-eat dried apricots soaked in port (soaking optional)
16-20 fresh bay leaves

Method

1. Use a knife to score each bacon rasher lengthways so it becomes more pliable, then coat it lightly with the mustard and slice it in half. 2. Wrap one piece of bacon around a single sausage and an apricot to form a parcel. 3. Thread these bacon rolls onto short skewers, adding fresh bay leaves between them, aiming for two rolls per skewer per person. 4. Place the prepared skewers in the oven to roast for 30-40 mins until they turn a golden colour. 5. Arrange the cooked skewers on a serving platter to accompany your main roast.
