Categories     side-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 10 to 12 servings, plus additional caramelized mirepoix

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons butter, plus more for the baking dish
2 tablespoons oil
2 cups finely diced celery
2 carrots, peeled and finely diced
1 large onion, finely diced
1 fennel bulb, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup cubed peeled celery root
1 cup cubed peeled parsnips
1 cup cubed peeled turnips
One 12-ounce package herb seasoned cubed stuffing mix, such as Pepperidge Farm
2 cups chicken broth, plus 1/2 cup more if reheating
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • In a saute pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon each of the butter and oil. When the butter is melted, add the celery, carrots, onion and fennel (mirepoix) and saute until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and stir through. Scoop out 2 cups of the caramelized mirepoix and reserve for the gravy. Put the remaining caramelized mirepoix in a large bowl (you should have about 4 cups).
  • Heat a second saute pan over medium heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon each butter and oil and heat until the butter is melted. Add the celery root, parsnips and turnips and saute until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Transfer the mixture to the bowl with the mirepoix and add the stuffing mix. Add the chicken broth, parsley, salt and pepper and toss together. Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  • If baking right away, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cover with foil and bake until the stuffing is heated through, about 1 hour.
  • If making ahead of time, cover the unbaked stuffing with foil and refrigerate overnight. The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bring the stuffing to room temperature, then drizzle with 1/2 cup of chicken broth. Bake, covered with foil, until heated through, about 1 hour.

WESTERN DRESSING



Western Dressing image

This dressing can also be used as a marinade for meats. From "Cooking a la Heart"- Delicious heart healthy recipes from the Mankato Heart Health Program. When I was little, the only time I had salad was at my grandma's house, and it could only be with Western dressing. Ok, that still holds true. But still, I figure a home made version of the dressing would be pretty cool! Oh, and have you ever tried just putting some ketchup on a bowl of salad? It's great- (Just don't put too much on- less than a tablespoon is perfect for a bowl).

Aunt Dorothy's Marinated Carrot Salad image

This has been a family favorite for years. The key to this recipe is not overcooking the carrots and allowing the entire salad to marinate for at least 12 hours. For a spectacular presentation when serving, garnish the top with rings of each color of bell pepper and rings of onion. Serve alone or over a bed of lettuce.
