Method
- Step 1Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until onion has softened. Add pistachios and cranberries. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add breadcrumbs. Cook, stirring, for 4 to 5 minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove from heat. Stir through oregano, orange rind, orange juice and egg.
