Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ medium eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch slices
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
½ cup chopped walnuts
1 stalk celery, diced
1 clove garlic, crushed
3 large portobello mushrooms, diced
1 cup diced mixed mushrooms (such as shiitake, maitake, oyster, beech, and/or chanterelles)
4 (3.5 ounce) links sweet Italian sausages
1 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons red wine, or to taste
2 tablespoons butter, divided, or more to taste
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried sage
2 large red apples, diced

Steps:

  • Sprinkle each eggplant slice generously with salt and sandwich between paper towels. Place a heavy pan on top of the eggplant slices and set aside for 30 minutes.
  • Combine onion, walnuts, celery, and garlic in a bowl. Mix all mushrooms in a second bowl.
  • Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-low heat. Squeeze sausage meat without the skin into meatball-sized segments and add to the skillet.

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Meanwhile, rinse off salt and any accumulated liquid from eggplant slices. Don't be afraid to twist and squeeze the slices. Dice eggplant and add with mushrooms to the skillet. Continue to cook stuffing over low heat until mushrooms have softened, about 10 minutes. Add chicken stock, red wine, and 1 tablespoon butter. Season with oregano, rosemary, sage, salt, and pepper. Mix in diced apples. Place remaining butter in thin pats on top of the stuffing and transfer skillet to the preheated oven.
  • Cook stuffing until browned on the top, about 15 minutes.

Provided by Sharon123

Categories     Apple

Time 1h

Yield 4 1/2 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 cup chopped red baking apple
1 cup chopped green cooking apple
2 cups soft bread cubes or 2 cups whole wheat bread cubes, toasted
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons dried whole-leaf sage
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat; add onion and celery, and cook, stirring constantly, until tender.
  • Combine apples, bread cubes, and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl; stir in vegetable mixture, egg, and remaining ingredients.
  • Spoon into a lightly greased 11x7x1 1/2-inch baking dish.
  • Bake at 350* for 30 minutes.
  • Yield: 6 servings (4 1/2 cups).

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. Different apples will give your stuffing different flavors and textures. For a sweet and tart stuffing, use Granny Smith apples. For a more mellow flavor, use Honeycrisp or Gala apples.
  • Don't peel the apples. The skin of the apples will help to keep the stuffing moist and flavorful.
  • Chop the apples into small pieces. This will help them to cook evenly and distribute their flavor throughout the stuffing.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will give your stuffing a more vibrant flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less since they are more concentrated.
  • Don't overcook the stuffing. Overcooked stuffing will be dry and crumbly. Cook the stuffing until it is just heated through, about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Sausage, apple, and walnut stuffing is a classic side dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste.
