My mother passed this recipe on to her daughters as it was passed on to her from her mother. It is a delicious alternative to traditional bread stuffing, and my family always requests it when a chicken or turkey is on the menu. It will be a stunning addition to your Sunday night dinner table. As with any good recipe, adjust the seasonings to your taste. This recipe quantity is for an approximately 5-pound chicken.

Categories     Dinner

Time 2h5m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed and broken up
1 medium white onion, diced
1 large carrot, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
3 cloves garlic, mixed
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, leaves picked
5 leaves fresh sage, minced
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 ¼ cups dried unsweetened cranberry
1 cup pecan pieces, toasted
½ cup parmesan cheese
4 cups wild rice medley, cooked
1 ¼ cups chicken stock
2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch (22.5 x 32.5 cm) baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.
  • In a medium pot over medium-high heat, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a bowl, leaving the rendered fat behind in the pan. Set aside.
  • Lower the heat to medium and melt the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter in the pan with the sausage fat. Once the butter begins to bubble, add the onion, carrot, celery, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Cook for 5-8 minutes, until the onion is translucent and the carrots begin to soften.
  • Add the garlic, thyme leaves, sage, and black pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant. Mix in the dried cranberries, pecans, Parmesan, rice, and sausage and stir well to combine. Remove the pot from the heat.
  • Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  • In a liquid measuring cup, use a fork to whisk together the chicken stock, eggs, egg yolk, and remaining teaspoon of salt.
  • Pour the stock mixture evenly over the stuffing and stir to incorporate. Cover the dish with foil.
  • Bake the stuffing for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, until slightly crispy on top. Remove the stuffing from the oven and let cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
  • Serve warm.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice. Long-grain rice is the best type of rice for stuffing because it cooks up light and fluffy, and it doesn't get mushy.
  • Cook the rice properly. Be sure to rinse the rice before cooking it, and cook it according to the package directions.
  • Use flavorful ingredients. The best stuffing recipes include a variety of flavorful ingredients, such as celery, onion, garlic, herbs, and spices.
  • Don't overstuff the bird. Stuffing the bird too tightly will prevent the heat from circulating properly, and the stuffing may not cook through.
  • Bake the stuffing separately. If you're concerned about the stuffing not cooking through, you can bake it separately in a casserole dish.

Conclusion:

Rice stuffing is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. By following these tips, you can make the best rice stuffing ever. So next time you're looking for a side dish that will impress your guests, give rice stuffing a try.
