Stuffing with Golden Raisins and Walnuts image

Provided by Sandra Lee

Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray
3/4 cup golden raisins
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1 loaf stale bread, cubed
1 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage leaves
2 (14 1/2-ounce) cans chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place the raisins in a small bowl and cover with 1 cup hot water. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and celery, season with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning, and cook until softened, 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Drain the raisins, reserving the liquid, and put them into a large bowl with the bread, walnuts, parsley, and sage. Add the cooked onions and celery. Mix everything together, pour over the chicken broth, season with salt and pepper, and mix again. If the mixture seems too dry, add some of the reserved soaking liquid from the raisins. Spoon the stuffing into the prepared baking dish (stuffing can be made ahead to this point, covered, and refrigerated overnight). Bake until the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes.

SYD'S VERY OWN RAISIN DRESSING



Syd's Very Own Raisin Dressing image

When I was growing up my mom used to make a very moist stuffing for the winter holidays, & I really never liked it very much, as it was way, way too moist. So, in time, I came up with my own much dryer dressing, & although one can stuff a bird with it, I don't. The 'stuffing' can be made more moist by adding a little apple juice to it, OR you can actually stuff the darn bird & it'll naturally be more moist! Originally I used a great-tasting cracked wheat bread for the cubes, but I've changed to Oroweat Master's Best Winter Wheat Premium Bread. I usually double the recipe, 'cause I like the left-over dressing! Preparation time does NOT include the time needed to dry the bread cubes.

1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 1/4 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
3/4 cup slivered almonds (or sliced)
3/4 cup tart apple, coarsely chopped

  • Add mixture from frying pan to bread cubes, & mix well.

DR. FUHRMAN'S WALNUT VINAIGRETTE DRESSING



Dr. Fuhrman's Walnut Vinaigrette Dressing image

This is from a recipe on drfuhrman.com. It is the best vinaigrette I have ever tasted, healthy or not. Everyone who has tasted this salad dressing asks for the recipe. You need a high speed blender or food processor to make the dressing so the raisins and nuts blend with the rest of the ingredients. We have this dressing every day for lunch on a salad of romaine lettuce with extra toppings like green or red pepper, avocado, cucumber, grape tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, raw nuts, raisins, sesame seeds, ground flax seed, etc. We like the nuts left whole and put on the salad instead of putting them in the dressing but they should be included in the salad one way or the other to help the absorption of the nutrients in the salad. When I make it, I usually quadruple the dressing recipe and store it in glass jars in the refrigerator.
