Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
8 ounces pancetta, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 large onions, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
3 celery stalks, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 (7.4-ounce) jars roasted peeled whole chestnuts, coarsely broken
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
1 pound day-old ciabatta bread, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 cup (or more) canned low-salt chicken broth
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs, beaten to blend

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Butter a 15 by 10 by 2-inch glass baking dish. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and saute until crisp and golden, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a large bowl. Melt the remaining butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots, celery, rosemary, and garlic. Saute until the onions are very tender, about 12 minutes. Gently stir in the chestnuts and parsley. Transfer the onion mixture to the large bowl with the pancetta. Add the bread and Parmesan and toss to coat. Add enough broth to the stuffing mixture to moisten. Season the stuffing, to taste, with salt and pepper. Mix in the eggs.
  • Transfer the stuffing to the prepared dish. Cover with buttered foil, buttered side down, and bake until the stuffing is heated through, about 30 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until the top is crisp and golden, about 15 minutes longer.

SAUSAGE AND SOURDOUGH STUFFING



Sausage and Sourdough Stuffing image

Savory stuffing, a classic, and enough for an 8- to 12-pound turkey. Can also be doubled. Also excellent to make in advance and refrigerate until it's time to bake/roast. This recipe came about when I decided to marinate a turkey in salt brine. Most packaged stuffings are too salty to put in a brined turkey. This stuffing is outstanding. Simply scrumptious. My husband, who hates stuffing, loves it.

Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ pound bulk breakfast sausage
4 tablespoons sweet butter
1 medium onion, diced
8 stalks celery, diced
3 cloves garlic, diced
1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth, or more if needed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
4 leaves fresh sage, leaves finely chopped
2 sprigs rosemary, leaves stripped and finely chopped
4 cups stale sourdough bread cubes
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a baking dish.
  • Heat 1/2 cup water in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up into 1-inch pieces until no longer pink and most of the water has evaporated. Drain and discard any grease.
  • Add butter and increase heat. As sausage starts to sizzle, add onion, celery, and garlic. Cook to a light to medium brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add parsley, sage, and rosemary; cook for 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Add bread cubes and turn gently to moisten, being careful not to break them. Add more chicken broth in 1/4-cup increments, if needed. Taste and season with salt and pepper, being careful not to burn yourself. Transfer stuffing to the prepared baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until golden brown, another 30 minutes.

270g loaf ciabatta , torn into chunks
350ml milk

Tips:

  • Use a variety of sausages: Feel free to mix and match different types of sausage for a more complex flavor profile. Italian sausage, spicy sausage, and breakfast sausage are all great options.
  • Don't overstuff the ciabatta: Too much stuffing will make the ciabatta difficult to close and may cause it to burst during baking.
  • Bake the ciabatta until it is golden brown: This will ensure that the stuffing is cooked through and the ciabatta is crispy.
  • Let the ciabatta cool slightly before slicing: This will help to prevent the stuffing from falling out.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and gravy are all great options.

Conclusion:

Ciabatta and sausage stuffing is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. So next time you are looking for a unique and flavorful stuffing recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
