Categories     Kosher

Time 1h15m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 loaves challah (about 1 pound each)
1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
2 cups celery, diced
2 cups onions, peeled and diced
2 cups granny smith apples, peeled and diced
8 sprigs thyme, leaves picked and minced
3 sprigs rosemary, leaves picked and minced
6 sprigs marjoram, leaves picked and minced
3 cups low sodium chicken broth
kosher salt
fresh ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Cut challah into 1-inch cubes and let cubes sit out in a bowl or on a baking tray, uncovered, for at least six hours to make them stale. (Alternatively, you can dry bread in a 250°F oven by laying cubes in a single layer on baking sheets and baking for about 30 minutes, or until bread is dry but not toasted (it should not start to brown at all).).
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a large saute pan, melt butter over medium-low heat, then add onions and celery.
  • Add three teaspoons of salt and ground pepper to taste, and cook until onions are soft, about 8 minutes.
  • Add apples and herbs and cook until apples are soft, about 5 minutes more.
  • In a large bowl, combine challah cubes, cooked vegetables, and chicken broth.
  • Mix until the bread is saturated with liquid, and everything is evenly mixed.
  • Press stuffing into a 9x13-inch baking dish and cover with foil.
  • Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes; remove the foil, increase temperature to 450°F, and stuffing for another 10-15 minutes, or until the top starts to brown slightly.
  • Cool 10 minutes, then serve.

Challah Bread- Mushroom Stuffing With Wild Rice and Raisins image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Challah bread
1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups chopped onions, leeks or scallions
2 cups diced celery
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 cups low-sodium chicken or turkey broth
1/2 cup wild rice
2 large eggs
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 1/4 pounds mushrooms, sliced and sauteed in butter
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Chop the challah bread into 1/2-inch cubes to make 16 cups. Stale bread works best for stuffing-if yours is fresh, spread out the cubes on baking sheet and dry in a 300 degrees F oven, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Heat 1 stick butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, sage, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth; bring to a simmer and remove from the heat.
  • Meanwhile, cook the wild rice as the label directs. Beat the eggs and parsley in a large bowl; stir in the bread cubes, the vegetable-broth mixture, the prepared rice and the mushrooms. Stir in the raisins.
  • Transfer the mixture to a buttered 3-to-4-quart baking dish and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees F, 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden, about 20 more minutes.

Categories     Side     Bake     Thanksgiving     Stuffing/Dressing     Cherry     Sausage     Gourmet     Peanut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup (4 ounces) pecans
1 (1-pound) challah loaf (or other egg bread), cut into 1-inch cubes (about 12 cups)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound bulk sausage meat (usually sold in a tube)
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces
3 medium onions, chopped
4 large celery ribs, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon allspice
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup dried tart (Morello) cherries (4 ounces; see Cooks' note:s)
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups turkey stock or reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Special Equipment
3 1/2- to 4-quart shallow ceramic or glass baking dish (or two 2-quart shallow baking dishes)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Generously butter baking dish.
  • Roast pecans in a pie or cake pan until fragrant and insides are pale golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
  • Divide bread between 2 large baking sheets and bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until golden, 15 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then cook sausage, stirring and breaking up lumps, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer sausage to a very large bowl.
  • Add butter to skillet and heat over medium heat until foam subsides. Add onions, celery, garlic, allspice, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown lightly, 12 to 15 minutes. Add vegetables to sausage with bread, cherries, and pecans, and toss to mix well.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, then whisk in stock, cream, and parsley, and pour over stuffing. Stir stuffing well, then spread it out in baking dish. Chill if turkey is more than 1 hour from being done.
  • When turkey is done, increase oven temperature to 425°F. Cover stuffing tightly with foil and bake until hot throughout, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake until top is golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes more.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your stuffing a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Don't peel the apples. The skin adds flavor and nutrients to the stuffing.
  • Use fresh herbs. They will give your stuffing a more vibrant flavor. Some good choices include sage, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Don't overstuff the bird. This will make it difficult to cook evenly.
  • Bake the stuffing in a separate dish. This will help to prevent it from getting too dry.
  • Let the stuffing rest before serving. This will help it to absorb the flavors and set.

Conclusion:

Challah apple stuffing is a delicious and versatile side dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it sweet, savory, or somewhere in between, there is a challah apple stuffing recipe out there for you.
