BRIOCHE CHESTNUT STUFFING



Brioche Chestnut Stuffing image

Stuffing with made from eggy brioche and roasted chestnuts is a Thanksgiving classic. This one, seasoned with celery, onion and sage, and a little diced fennel for sweetness and depth, sticks relatively close to tradition. Use it to stuff a turkey, if you like, but it's even better baked separately in a shallow casserole dish, so the top can get nice and crisp. If you'd like to bake it ahead, you can do so up to 6 hours in advance. Just before serving, reheat it in a 350-degree oven.

Time 2h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (14- to 16-ounce) brioche loaf, torn into 1-inch pieces
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), plus more for the pan
1 large onion, diced
2 large celery ribs, thinly sliced
1/2 cup diced fennel (about 1/2 small fennel bulb)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
5 ounces roasted, peeled chestnuts, roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups turkey or chicken stock
2 large eggs
1/4 cup chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Arrange brioche pieces in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Let them dry out overnight, or place them in a 200-degree oven for an hour or two. (They'll be ready when they feel stale to the touch but haven't taken on any color.)
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees, and butter a shallow, 2-quart casserole or gratin dish. On a pot on the stove or in the microwave, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Put bread in the prepared baking dish and toss with melted butter. Bake until golden and toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool, then transfer toast to a large bowl. (Don't wash the baking dish; you'll use it again for the stuffing.)
  • In a 12-inch skillet, melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Stir in onion, celery, fennel and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook until soft and just starting to brown, about 12 minutes. Stir in thyme and sage, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and transfer to bowl with brioche. Gently fold in chestnuts and pepper and let cool.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups stock, eggs, parsley and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Fold gently into bread mixture, then scrape it all back into prepared baking dish. Drizzle on remaining 1 cup stock until the mixture is moist but not squishy; you may not need all the stock.
  • Cover dish with foil and bake until lightly springy, about 25 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake until golden brown, another 20 to 30 minutes.

BRIOCHE STUFFING WITH CHESTNUTS AND FIGS



Brioche Stuffing With Chestnuts and Figs image

This luxurious vegetarian stuffing recipe from Daniel Humm, the chef of Eleven Madison Park and NoMad in New York, came to The Times in 2010 when the Well blog published several recipes appropriate for the meat-free Thanksgiving table. Here, vegetarian sausage stands in for traditional pork, and the addition of apple, fennel and chestnuts provide a pleasing combination of flavors and textures. It is a rich and delicious dressing that everyone will love.

Time 1h

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 loaf of brioche
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup celery, medium fine dice
1/2 cup fennel, medium fine dice
1/4 cup Fiji apple, medium fine dice
1 cup Spanish onion, medium fine dice
1 pound vegetarian sausage, finely diced (optional)
2/3 cup glazed chestnuts, medium fine dice
2/3 cup dried figs, medium fine dice
1/3 cup reduced (syrupy) vegetable stock
2 cups vegetable stock
1 tablespoon salt
2 eggs
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh sage leaves, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh marjoram leaves, chopped
1 pinch quatre épices
2 teaspoons ground pepper

Steps:

  • Dice brioche into a medium-fine dice and allow to dry in a low oven or overnight at room temperature. Once dry, you will have about 2 cups total.
  • Melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter in a sauté pan. Sweat the celery, fennel, apple and onion until translucent and soft. ("Sweating" vegetables means slowly cooking them over low heat until soft but not brown.)
  • In a second sauté pan, melt the remaining butter and cook sausage gently. Combine the butter and sausage with the diced brioche, celery and onion mixture, chestnuts, figs, reduced stock and stock in a large bowl and toss gently. Season with salt to taste. Gently add eggs and toss to combine. Finish with chopped herbs, spices and pepper.
  • Bake in a 9- by 13-inch baking dish at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 minutes or until browned and hot throughout.

Time 1h25m

Yield Makes 14 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 butternut squash, peeled, halved, seeded, and cut into 3/4-inch pieces (8 cups)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 large sprigs sage
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 onions, finely chopped
6 stalks celery, finely chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped thyme
2 teaspoons minced rosemary
14 ounces roasted peeled chestnuts, coarsely chopped
1 loaf brioche with crust, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (12 cups) and dried
2 cups Easy Turkey Stock
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss squash with oil and sage; season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, flipping once, until golden brown and tender, about 40 minutes. Crumble sage.
  • Melt butter in a large straight-sided skillet over high. Add onions, celery, thyme, rosemary, chestnuts, 2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add to a large bowl with bread and squash mixture. Drizzle with stock; toss to combine. Stir in parsley; season with salt and pepper. Let cool completely before stuffing bird.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This means using fresh brioche, flavorful chestnuts, and ripe figs.
  • Don't overstuff the brioche. You want the stuffing to be moist and fluffy, not dense and dry.
  • If you don't have time to make your own brioche, you can use store-bought brioche or even challah bread.
  • Toast the chestnuts before using them. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them easier to chop.
  • If you don't have fresh figs, you can use dried figs. Just be sure to soak them in warm water for 30 minutes before using.
  • Serve the stuffing warm or at room temperature. It's also delicious the next day.

Conclusion:

Brioche stuffing with chestnuts and figs is a festive and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any special occasion. It's easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy hosts. The combination of brioche, chestnuts, and figs is unique and delicious, and sure to please everyone at your table.
