SAUSAGE STUFFING WITH CARAMELIZED LEEKS & ONIONS image

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 - 16 ounce loaf of crusty French bread, cut into 1/2 or 3/4 inch cubes (or be a slacker like me and pick up a 16 ounce bag of unseasoned bread crumbs)
2 tablespoons fennel seeds

1 cup (packed) golden raisins
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
2 1/2 cups low-salt chicken broth
6 large eggs, beaten to blend
Chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • If using a loaf of French Spread bread cubes on a rimmed baking sheet; let stand uncovered at room temperature to dry overnight. Stir fennel seeds in large, nonstick skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer fennel seeds to small bowl. Cook sausage in the same skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, breaking up with back of fork, about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to large bowl (leave drippings in the pan). Add butter to drippings in skillet; melt over medium-high heat. Transfer fennel seeds to small bowl. Cook sausage in the same skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, breaking up with back of fork, about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to large bowl (leave drippings in the pan). Add butter to drippings in skillet; melt over medium-high heat. Transfer vegetable mixture to bowl with sausage. Stir in raisins, sage, and thyme. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and keep refrigerated.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter 13x9x2 inch glass baking dish. Mix bread cubes and broth into sausage-vegetable mixture. Season stuffing to taste with salt and pepper; mix in eggs. Transfer stuffing to prepared dish. Cover with buttered foil, buttered side down. Bake until stuffing is heated through, about 35 minutes. Uncover and bake until top is slightly crisp and beginning to brown, about 30 minutes longer. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, high-quality sausage and bread. Avoid using pre-packaged stuffing mix, as it often contains preservatives and additives that can compromise the flavor and texture of the dish.
  • Don't overstuff the sausage casings. This will make the sausage difficult to cook evenly and may cause it to split.
  • Cook the sausage over medium heat to prevent it from becoming dry or overcooked. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the sausage has reached an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Allow the sausage to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful sausage.
  • If you are using a traditional sausage stuffer, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. If you are new to sausage making, you may want to consider using a hand-crank sausage stuffer, which is easier to use than a motorized model.

Conclusion:

Sausage stuffing with caramelized onions is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. Whether you are making it for a special occasion or a weeknight meal, this recipe is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy sausage, give this recipe a try.
