Time P1DT1h40m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 loaf crusty French bread, diced into 1-inch cubes
1 stick butter
2 cups finely diced celery (leaves included)
2 carrots, peeled and very finely diced
1 large onion, diced
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, plus more if needed
2 to 3 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground sage
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
Kosher salt
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
Skillet cornbread, recipe follows, diced into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons shortening
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup milk
1 whole egg

Steps:

  • Spread the Skillet Cornbread and French bread cubes out on 2 baking sheets and let them dry for about 24 hours until totally crisp. Once dry, transfer the cubes to a large mixing bowl and toss to mix them up a bit.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Warm up a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the butter. When it's melted, add the celery, carrots and onions, and cook for a few minutes until the onions are almost translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and add the rosemary, thyme, sage and turmeric. Gradually ladle the broth mixture into the bread, tossing lightly as you go. Keep gradually adding the broth mixture, tasting as you go and adding more seasoning and herbs if needed. Add salt carefully. You don't want to over salt your stuffing. If the mixture is not quite moist enough, add a bit more chicken broth and stir. Stir in the fresh parsley.
  • Place the dressing in a rectangular baking dish and bake until golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the shortening in a cast-iron skillet. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk and egg until fully combined. Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring until well combined. Melt the remaining 1/4 cup melted shortening and add to the batter, stirring constantly. Pour into the hot skillet, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Place in the oven and bake until golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes.

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.

Time 6h

Yield 18 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

2 batches Herbed Cornbread, recipe follows
1 loaf French bread
6 slices bacon, chopped
1 stick butter
5 stalks celery, diced
2 red bell peppers, diced
1 large onion, diced
2 jalapenos, seeded and finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth, plus more if needed
1/2 bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup whole milk
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons salted butter
3 tablespoons shortening

Steps:

  • Cut the cornbread and French bread into 1-inch cubes, place on a baking sheet and leave out until completely dried out, several hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Add the bacon to a skillet and saute over medium heat until cooked and almost crisp, about 7 minutes. Remove to a plate and wipe out any grease. Melt the butter in the skillet, throw in the celery, red peppers and onions and cook, stirring, until very soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the jalapenos and garlic and continue to saute for 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth, add the parsley, rosemary and some salt and pepper and stir. Cook for a couple of minutes, then turn off the heat.
  • Add the bread and bacon to a large bowl and spoon in some of the broth mixture. Keep adding the broth, tossing as you go, until it is all mixed in. Add more salt and pepper if needed and toss it around, then check the seasoning. If you like your dressing extra moist, add a little more broth.
  • Pile the dressing into a 3-quart (9-by-13-inch) casserole pan and bake, uncovered, until golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve piping hot.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Add the cornmeal to a large bowl along with the flour, baking powder, salt, basil, sage and thyme and stir together.
  • Measure the buttermilk in a measuring cup, add the whole milk and egg and stir together with a fork. Add the baking soda and stir. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons shortening in the microwave and slowly add to the batter, stirring constantly until combined.
  • In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and shortening. Pour the batter into the hot skillet, spread to even out the surface and cook over high heat for 1 minute. Then get it into the oven straightaway and bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. The edges should be crispy.

Tips:

  • Use a whisk and a large measuring cup or small bowl to easily combine the ingredients.
  • Use a microplane grater for a smooth and creamy dressing.
  • Do not discard the shallot pulp, use it instead of onion powder in other recipes.
  • For a tangy dressing, use a good quality balsamic vinegar.
  • To reduce the acidity of the dressing, use less vinegar or add a teaspoon of honey.
  • Fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or tarragon can be added for extra flavor.
  • Store the dressing in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Aunt Trish's Salad Dressing is a versatile and easy-to-make dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, as a marinade, or as a dipping sauce. With its tangy and creamy flavor, this dressing is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So grab your ingredients and give it a try today!
