TRADITIONAL RICE STUFFING
My mother passed this recipe on to her daughters as it was passed on to her from her mother. It is a delicious alternative to traditional bread stuffing, and my family always requests it when a chicken or turkey is on the menu. It will be a stunning addition to your Sunday night dinner table. As with any good recipe, adjust the seasonings to your taste. This recipe quantity is for an approximately 5-pound chicken.

CHESTNUT RICE STUFFING
This is the only stuffing I've ever eaten all my life - and the thing is, I have never even wanted to try another! This is my mom's recipe. Mothers give daughters good lessons in life - this is one of the best my mom gave me. I have not provided a cook time - it takes as long as your bird takes, ours always has.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, add onion and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Turn heat up to high and add ground beef. Cook until meat is browned well, stir in celery and cook 5 minutes longer. Stir in rice and turkey liver and cook 3 minutes. Add all remaining ingredients, season generously with salt and pepper.
- Your bird is ready to be stuffed!
- To prepare chestnuts: I do them in the pressure cooker. Rinse chestnuts and put them in the cooker. Add enough water to cover by a good 2 inches and throw in 2 tblsps salt (this will be drained off anyway- but gives the chestnuts better flavour). Boil for 5 minutes (after pressure starts). Turn off heat and leave on element 15 minutes longer. Drain.
- When cool enough to handle, cut off'nib' with a small, sharp knife and peel. Get the papery stuff off too. This is not so easy- some chestnuts peel easer than others, but they are so good and this is so totally worth it!
- If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can boil them in a regular pot for about 25 minutes.
- You could also use the vacuum-packed, cleaned chestnuts available, but I don't know if they'd be as tasty. I would guess that just over 1 lb of cleaned, cooked chestnuts would equal a 2 lb, uncleaned weight.

Tips:
- Choose the right liver. Beef liver is the most commonly used liver for stuffing, but you can also use chicken or pork liver. Be sure to choose a fresh, healthy liver that is free of any blemishes or discolorations.
- Soak the liver in milk. This will help to remove any bitterness from the liver and make it more tender. Soak the liver in milk for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Cook the liver properly. Overcooked liver is tough and chewy, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook the liver until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Use a variety of seasonings. Liver is a blank canvas for flavors, so feel free to experiment with different seasonings. Some popular seasonings for liver include onion, garlic, thyme, sage, and rosemary.
- Serve the stuffing immediately. Rice and liver stuffing is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to make the stuffing ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Rice and liver stuffing is a classic side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little creativity, you can create a rice and liver stuffing that will be the star of your next meal.
