PORCINI BREAD STUFFING
When it comes to Thanksgiving stuffing, a passionate attachment to one's own family recipe, combined with a healthy suspicion of other stuffings, has become part of the holiday ritual. This one, which includes porcini mushrooms, Cognac, raisins and fresh rosemary, comes from Julia Moskin's family, and is prepared with great ceremony by her uncle Julian M. Cohen. To make it vegetarian, simply use vegetable stock rather than chicken.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees, and butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. (The oven can be anywhere from 350 to 400 degrees, if you need to cook both the stuffing and the turkey in it.)
- Soak mushrooms in 2 cups warm water about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving liquid. Thickly slice mushrooms. Meanwhile simmer Calvados in a saucepan until reduced to about 5 ounces.
- Melt remaining butter in large pan, add onions, and saute until transparent. Sprinkle with salt if onions are browning too fast. Add sliced mushrooms, and saute 2 minutes. Add bread, mushroom liquid, chopped parsley, rosemary and sage. Stir in reduced Calvados, applesauce, raisins, nuts and enough stock so mixture is moist but not wet. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Turn into buttered baking dish. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, until firm and crusty.

Tips:
- Use fresh porcini mushrooms for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh porcini, use dried porcini mushrooms. Be sure to rehydrate them according to the package directions before using.
- Sauté the mushrooms in butter until they are golden brown. This will help to bring out their flavor and aroma.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the stuffing. Some good choices include sage, thyme, rosemary, and garlic.
- Make sure the stuffing is moist but not soggy. You want it to be able to hold its shape when you spoon it into the cavity of the chicken.
- Stuff the chicken loosely. This will allow the stuffing to expand as it cooks.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the chicken is cooked through and the stuffing is heated through.
Conclusion:
Porcini bread stuffing is a delicious and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any special occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you are serving it with chicken, turkey, or pork, porcini bread stuffing is sure to be a hit.
