APPLE PECAN STUFFING

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for finishing
1/2 bunch fresh sage
1/2 bunch fresh thyme
1 large Spanish onion, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
1 1/2 cups raw pecans
2 eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
5 cups sourdough bread (crusts removed), hand-torn into 1-inch pieces
1/4 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Set a large saute pan over medium heat and add olive oil, sage and thyme sprigs. As the oil heats up the herbs will crackle and fry, infusing the oil. Remove the sage and thyme and set aside on a paper towel to drain - these can be as a garnish, if desired. Add onions to the pan and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes until caramelized. Season with salt and pepper. Remove onions from pan and add apples. Crush the pecans and add to the pan. Add more oil, if needed and season with salt and pepper. Gently saute until pecans are lightly toasted and apples are just cooked slightly - about 3 to 5 minutes. In a large mixing bowl whisk together egg, cream, chicken stock, and salt and pepper, to taste. Add torn sourdough, caramelized onions, apples, pecans and chopped parsley. Using a wooden spoon, mix the stuffing until well combined.
  • Scoop stuffing into cavity of pork crown roast and cook accordingly with roast.

Provided by Wendy W88

Categories     Fruit

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup sliced leek
3/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup butter
2 medium apples, cored and chopped
1 cup chopped pecans
3/4 cup chopped dried apricot
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 cups dried white bread, cubed
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
3/4 cup half-and-half
1 beaten egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, cook leeks and onion over medium heat in butter, until tender but not brown.
  • Stir in apples, pecans, apricots, and nutmeg.
  • Cook about 4 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine bread cubes, rosemary, thyme, parsley, and cooked onion mixture.
  • In a small bowl, combine half and half, egg, salt, and pepper.
  • Add to bread mixture and stir gently to coat.
  • Place in a greased 2 qt casserole and bake, covered, in a 375* oven for 20 minutes.
  • Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: A good stuffing starts with a good bread. Look for a firm, slightly stale bread that will hold its shape when moistened. Some popular choices include French bread, sourdough, and cornbread.
  • Don't overstuff the bird: Overstuffing can make the turkey dry and tough. Aim for about 3/4 cup of stuffing per pound of turkey.
  • Cook the stuffing thoroughly: To ensure that the stuffing is safe to eat, it must be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature before serving.
  • Serve the stuffing immediately: Stuffing is best when it is served hot and fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.

Conclusion:

Apple-apricot-currant-pecan stuffing is a delicious and festive side dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your stuffing is cooked perfectly and enjoyed by all.
