  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with the bread cubes.
  4. Pour the broth over the bread mixture and toss gently to combine. Add more broth if the mixture seems dry, but be careful not to over-soak.

  6. Continue with the roasting instructions as above, allowing the stuffing to cook along with the roast.
  7. Check the stuffing during roasting and add a bit more broth if it seems dry.
  8. When the roast is ready and has rested, scoop out the stuffing to serve alongside the carved pork.
