CELERY HERB STUFFING AND SAVORY CHICKEN



Celery Herb Stuffing and Savory Chicken image

I taught my children this recipe by singing along to Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel: Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme, great herb stuffing seasonings. If you can get savory from the Atlantic provinces to green your chicken; it would be the best. My father was a Newfoundlander and swore by their savory.

CELERY "STUFFING" - HCG P2



Celery

When you want some good old fashioned stuffing to go with your chicken. Maybe not exactly the same thing but not bad. =) The melba toast (or Grissini breadsticks) are optional. You can also lay this on your allotted piece of protein (chicken would probably be preferable) and then roll up your chicken around it. Then bake. =)

Provided by Cassachusetts

Categories     Vegetable

Time 3m

Yield 1 Cup, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup celery (thinly sliced, or however you like it)
1 pinch salt (or you can use a dash of Bragg Liquid Aminos but I don't know if that's considered "off protocol")
1 pinch garlic
1 pinch basil
1 pinch marjoram
1 pinch oregano
1 pinch sage
1 pinch black pepper
1 -2 melba toast (optional, finely crumbled)

Steps:

  • Cut celery into thin slices.
  • Add seasonings (to taste) and crumbled breadsticks / melba toast (if you choose to use them).
  • Mix thoroughly.
  • Microwave on HIGH for about 2 minutes in a microwave-safe bowl. (If you like your celery less crunchy, you can microwave it longer.).

BUTTERED STUFFING WITH CELERY AND LEEKS



Buttered Stuffing With Celery and Leeks image

Those of you who love stuffing know that it might be the only reason to host Thanksgiving. This version is an updated classic - no dried fruit, no surprise ingredients, no "twists" - just a very buttery, deeply savory stuffing made with garlic, leeks and a lot of celery. The bread is crusty and torn, never cubed (for those crisp, craggy edges), and the whole thing is baked in a baking dish, never inside the turkey (to keep it light and fluffy with a custardy interior and a golden-brown top). All stuffing needs two trips to the oven: once, covered, to cook it through and twice, uncovered, to crisp up the top. You can do the first bake ahead of time if you like, or do one after the other if the timing works out that way.

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     dinner, stuffing and dressing, side dish

Time 4h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large loaf good, crusty bread, preferably sourdough or ciabatta (about 1¼ pounds)
1/4 cup olive oil
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 large leeks, white and light green parts, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 celery stalks, thinly sliced, leaves reserved for garnish if available
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes (optional)
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken, turkey or vegetable broth
3 large eggs
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
1/4 cup finely chopped chives
2 tablespoons finely chopped marjoram, oregano or thyme

Steps:

  • Using your hands, tear bread, crust and all, into 1 1/2- to 2-inch pieces. (Alternatively, you can cut the bread with a knife, but I prefer the way the craggy bits toast and soak up the goods.) Place chunks on a rimmed baking sheet, and let sit uncovered at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours. If you're short on time, you can toast the chunks in a 300-degree oven instead, tossing occasionally, until lightly crisped, but not browned, on the outside.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine olive oil and 4 tablespoons butter. Once butter has melted, add the garlic and leeks. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks are bright green and totally softened, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add celery, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until bright green and tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Add white wine, and cook until reduced by about three-quarters, 3 to 4 minutes. Add red-pepper flakes, if using, and remove from heat.
  • Whisk together broth and eggs in a medium bowl. Place bread in a large bowl (you want a lot of room for mixing, so go big), and add the leek and celery mixture, parsley, chives and marjoram. Stir to coat so that everything is evenly distributed, trying not to totally crush the bread. Pour the egg mixture over everything and toss a few times. Let sit a minute or two and give another toss. Repeat twice until all the liquid has absorbed and evenly distributed to each and every piece of bread.
  • Transfer mixture to a 2 1/2- to 3-quart baking dish (a 9-by-13 pan also works), making sure not to pack it too tightly. (You want to keep the bread in the stuffing as light as possible.) Dot the top with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, making sure to pay extra attention to the corners, where the stuffing will get the crispiest.
  • Cover with foil and bake until the stuffing is sizzling at the edges and completely cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. If it's not yet time to serve, remove stuffing from oven and set aside. (If you are nearly ready to serve, proceed directly to the next step and continue without pausing.)
  • When ready to serve, remove foil and increase temperature to 425 degrees. Bake stuffing until crispy, crunchy and impossibly golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes. Scatter with celery leaves, if using, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh celery: Fresh celery has a more intense flavor and adds more crunch to the stuffing.
  • Chop the celery finely: This will help it to distribute evenly throughout the stuffing.
  • Sauté the celery before adding it to the stuffing: This will help to bring out its flavor and make it more tender.
  • Add other vegetables to the stuffing: Such as onions, carrots, and mushrooms. This will add more flavor and texture.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Such as sage, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper. This will give the stuffing a more complex flavor.
  • Moisten the stuffing with broth or water: This will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Stuff the turkey or chicken loosely: This will allow the stuffing to expand as it cooks.
  • Bake the turkey or chicken until the stuffing reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit: This will ensure that the stuffing is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Celery stuffing is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect celery stuffing that will be the star of your next meal.
