Old Fashioned Savoury Onion Stuffing

This is an old family recipe from my father's family that was passed down by learning how to make it in the kitchen. I don't think i've ever seen it written down anywhere. My father never used to measure anything. He started teaching me how to make this when i was 10, and eventually (given that we only made this a few times a year, thanksgiving, christmas, sometimes easter) when he decided i was doing it right, i became the one to make it. I found the soya sauce add-in years after i left home by experimentation... This recipe makes a lot, enought to stuff one huge turkey or two smaller ones. My kids prefer it heated in a covered casserole dish in the oven or microwave rather than cooked in the turkey, they think the turkey fat cooking in with it makes it gross. I suspect they would think that of any stuffing... Leftovers reheat well in the microwave, or can be frozen.

Steps

Melt the butter in a large saucepan add the onions and 4 tablespoons of the summer savoury.

Simmer at a low heat , stirring every five minutes or so until the onions are very tender , this takes an hour or two.

Cook the potatoes until very tender , drain and mash with the milk.

Add the onion mixture , the bread , 1 tablespoon summer savoury , salt , pepper and optionally the soya sauce.

Mix well', at the point i taste the mixture and adjust salt and pepper and start adding more summer savoury until it's where i like it"]".
