Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, finely diced
3 ribs celery, finely diced
Kosher salt
3 cloves garlic, smashed and finely diced
1 pound spicy sausage, casing removed, broken up into bite-size chunks
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch dice
1 cup apple cider
1/2 bunch sage, leaves finely chopped
3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
10 cups stale rustic bread, crusts discarded, cut into 1-inch cubes; or fresh bread slices toasted until crispy but no color, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 to 3 cups chicken stock

Steps:

  • Coat a large saute pan, over medium heat, with olive oil and add the onions and celery. Season with salt and cook until the veggies start to become soft and are very aromatic. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sausage and cook until the sausage browns. Stir in the apples and apple cider and cook until the apples start to soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle in the sage leaves and the walnuts and turn off the heat.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Add the diced bread and toss together. Pour in the chicken stock and knead with your hands until the bread is very moist, actually wet. Taste to check for seasoning and season with salt, if needed, (it does). Transfer to a large deep ovenproof dish (roughly 9 by 11 inches) and bake until it is hot all the way through and crusty on top.
  • Remove from the oven and serve.
  • MMMMM...stuffing!

APPLE WALNUT RICE STUFFING (VEGAN)



Apple Walnut Rice Stuffing (Vegan) image

This is a recipe from a 1987 issue of Better Homes & Gardens, from a Tyson chicken ad. It's meant to be stuffing for cornish game hens but because I don't eat meat and poultry, this serves as a nice vegetarian side dish (non-vegans can use butter for a richer flavor.) This would be great for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other feast. I don't normally keep storebought wild rice on hand so I used 1/3 cup each brown rice, black rice, and long-grain yellow rice. The ingredients were listed in the ad but no actual instructions were...so my instructions pretty much work, I had to add the extra 2 TB oil for cooking the onion; it wasn't originally listed. I chose those two oils based on what was on hand and what I thought would have the most interesting flavors.

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup wild rice
2 tablespoons sunflower oil (any oil of your choice works(for cooking the rice)
1 celery heart, minced (with leaves still on)
1 small white onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil (any oil of your choice works(for sauteeing the onion)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
2 mcintosh apples, cored and chopped

1 teaspoon dried parsley

Steps:

  • Boil 2 cups of water in a large saucepan with a few shakes of table salt, and put the rice in it. Stir in the oil and cover, let cook on medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until an "al dente" texture.
  • While the rice is cooking, turn on another burner and sautee the chopped onion in 2 TB oil of your choice until somewhat translucent, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Turn the burners off to but leave the saucepan on with the rice and water. Fluff up with a wodden spoon or fork to evenly distribute the oil and you'll need the extra water too.
  • In a small bowl, combine the port and parsley.
  • Pour the sauteed onion, chopped celery, chopped apple, walnut bits, into the rice pan and mix.,
  • Pour on the port and parsley mixture, and blend well.
  • Turn the saucepan's burner back on, on medium-low heat, and cover again. Let cook another 8-10 minutes.
