Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 2h

Yield 10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb sliced bacon
3 lbs medium red potatoes or 3 lbs yellow potatoes, scrubbed
1/4 cup bacon fat or 1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 celery ribs, chopped
6 scallions, chopped
1 tablespoon caraway seed
1 lb rye bread, cut into 1/2 inch cubes and dried overnight
1 -1 1/2 cup turkey broth or 1 -1 1/2 cup chicken broth, as needed
salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Place the bacon strips in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet; bake in the upper third of the oven until crisp and browned, 10-15 minutes.
  • Some strips of bacon will cook more quickly than others, so remove them as they crisp and drain on paper towels.
  • Crumble when cool.
  • As the bacon fat renders and accumulates in the baking sheet, pour it off into a small heatproof bowl; reserve ¼ cup.
  • Place potatoes in a big pot and add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches; bring to a boil, then add salt to taste; cook until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife, 15-20 minutes.
  • Drain, rinse under cold water, and cool until easy to handle; cut into 1-inch cubes.
  • In a big skillet, heat the reserved bacon fat or the oil over medium heat.
  • Add in the celery; cook/stir often, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the scallions and caraway seed; cook/stir occasionally, until the celery is beginning to brown, about 5 more minutes.
  • Scrape the celery mixture into a big bowl; add in the bread cubes, cubed potatoes, and crumbled bacon; toss to mix.
  • Gradually stir in about 1 cup broth until the stuffing is evenly moistened but not soggy.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer mixture to a lightly buttered casserole dish, drizzle with ½ cup broth, cover, and bake in a preheated 350° oven for 30 minutes.

PORK CHOPS WITH RYE-BREAD STUFFING



Pork Chops With Rye-Bread Stuffing image

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 1h

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 bone-in, 1-inch-thick loin chops
3 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 large clove garlic, minced
3 1/2 cups soft rye-bread crumbs (a mix of large and small pieces, without caraway seeds)
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Salt and pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten with 3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon flour
3/4 cup chicken broth

Steps:

  • Have a butcher cut a generous pocket in each chop or a slit to butterfly the chops for stuffing.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a sauté pan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Scrape into a large bowl and add the bread crumbs, caraway seeds, parsley, teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add the beaten egg and mix with a fork until blended.
  • Fill the chops with the stuffing, then seal the pockets with toothpicks. Season on all sides with salt and pepper. Arrange in a braising pan or other shallow baking dish fitted with a lid. Bake, covered, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat, not the stuffing, reaches 155 degrees, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and place the pan under the broiler just until the chops are browned and the temperature in the thickest part of the meat is 160 degrees, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and keep warm.
  • Set the braising pan on the stove over medium heat and reduce the pan juices to a thick glaze. Add the remaining tablespoon butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the broth and simmer, scraping up the pan drippings, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon; strain. Season to taste. Serve the pork chops with the sauce.

RYE BREAD STUFFING



Rye Bread Stuffing image

The original version of this recipe comes from the Dec/Jan 1997 issue of Taste Of Home magazine. I have since added the sage flavored sausage, and will either skip the mixed nuts or add only pecans. I get wonderful compliments on this stuffing every time i serve it, and the best compliments are when i'm asked to share the recipe or bring the stuffing to the next holiday. Be sure to use 3/4 light rye to 1/4 dark rye, or substitute all light rye, so the rye doesn't overpower. In this combination the flavor is not too strong, just enough that friends and family recognize it as something extra special you've done with your dressing. We've also been successful making this recipe gluten free by using gluten free white bread, broth and the regular flavor of Jimmy Dean Sausage.
