Porcini Bread Stuffing image

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.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 tablespoons butter
1 cup dried porcini or morel mushrooms
1 cup Calvados or Cognac
3 onions, thinly sliced
Salt and black pepper
10 to 12 cups torn sourdough bread (1 large loaf)
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons finely chopped sage
1 cup applesauce
3/4 cup raisins or dried cherries
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans
1 to 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock

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.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms, but I'm so glad I did! The porcini mushrooms added a subtle, earthy flavor that really complemented the other ingredients.
