HERBY BREAD-AND-BUTTER STUFFING FOR TWO



Herby Bread-and-Butter Stuffing for Two image

This fairly classic stuffing recipe has been scaled down to feed two (generously). Filled with buttery sautéed shallots and plenty of herbs, it's rich and soft in the center, and golden and crunchy on top. A small shallow gratin dish, about 6 inches in diameter, is your best option for baking, but any dish, loaf pan, or skillet with a 3- to 4-cup capacity will work.

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
1 large or 2 small shallots, diced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus a large pinch
1 teaspoon chopped fresh marjoram or thyme leaves (or use a large pinch of dried)
1/2 to 3/4 cup turkey, chicken or vegetable broth
1 egg
1/4 cup chopped fresh soft herbs (use 2 or 3 of the following: parsley, tarragon, chives, mint, basil, cilantro, dill or celery leaves)
About 2 1/2 cups torn-up stale white or whole-wheat bread, not too crusty (3 ounces)
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a small, shallow gratin dish, casserole dish or loaf pan with a 3- to 4-cup capacity.
  • In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Stir in shallots and a large pinch of salt. Cook until soft and just starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in marjoram and cook for 1 minute longer.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup broth, egg, chopped herbs and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Fold in bread and shallots, letting the bread absorb the liquid. It should be very moist. (If the mixture seems dry, add more stock a little at a time, using up to another 1/4 cup.)
  • Spoon stuffing into the prepared baking dish and grind some black pepper onto the top. Cut the remaining tablespoon butter into small pieces and scatter over the top. Bake until golden brown and firm, about 30 minutes. Serve hot or warm.

TRADITIONAL BREAD AND CELERY STUFFING



Traditional Bread and Celery Stuffing image

Stuffing, dressing... whatever you call it, and however you make it, it's all a part of our holiday tradition. Here is a recipe for a traditional bread and celery stuffing that was passed from my grandmother, to my mother, then to me. Moist and flavorful, you're sure to love it.

Provided by Marie

Time 2h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups turkey broth, or as needed
¼ cup butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 loaf white bread
1 (10 ounce) package saltine crackers
1 (6 ounce) box turkey stuffing mix
3 stalks celery, chopped
nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Empty 2 cups of broth and butter into a medium pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook for about 20 minutes.
  • While onions cook, tear the bread into a very large mixing bowl. You don't want large pieces of crust or heel. This part of the bread doesn't absorb as well. The regular bread parts can be torn into large pieces, about 4 pieces per slice. Don't mush the bread, tear easily. Squeeze and crush the crackers in the sleeve and empty into the mixing bowl. Empty all contents of boxed stuffing into the bowl.
  • After the onion has cooked, add the celery. Cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, turn heat off, and let cool, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While your mixture is cooking, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and spray a roasting pan with nonstick spray.
  • Empty one ladleful of stock at a time over the bread. After each, use a fork to softly fold/fluff the bread mixture. Don't stir or mash. Bread tearing while folding/fluffing is okay, but you don't want it mashed up or doughy. Then, add more broth to the mixture, fold/fluff, and wait about 30 seconds for absorption between adding more. The stuffing should hold together and be moist.
  • Empty mixture into the sprayed roasting pan. Using your fork, softly fluff over the mixture until it covers the pan. Add little amounts of broth at a time and use the fork to pick up/fluff until you just start to see it not absorbing. Cover the pan with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until lightly browned, about 5 minutes more.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor to stuffing. If you have access to fresh herbs like sage, thyme, and rosemary, use them instead of dried herbs.
  • Toast the Bread: Toasting the bread cubes before adding them to the stuffing will help them absorb the flavors of the other ingredients and give the stuffing a nice crispy texture.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When browning the vegetables and sausage, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Season to Taste: Taste the stuffing before baking and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Let the Stuffing Rest: After baking, let the stuffing rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
