Time 2h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 pounds sourdough bread, crusts trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 12 cups)
1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, coarsely chopped
1/2 pound oyster mushrooms, coarsely chopped
1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons canola oil, divided
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 pound slab bacon, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 large Spanish onion, finely diced
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 to 5 cups homemade chicken stock or low sodium canned chicken broth
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spread the bread onto a large baking sheet (or 2 smaller baking sheets) in an even layer and bake, stirring a few times, until lightly golden brown, about 12 minutes. Remove and let cool. Once cooled, put the cubes into a very large bowl.
  • Increase the heat to 375 degrees F. Combine the mushrooms in a large baking dish or baking sheet, toss with 3 tablespoons of the oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven, stirring several times, until soft and golden brown, about 25 minutes.
  • While the mushrooms are roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of the canola oil in a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and the fat has rendered, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the rendered fat in the saute pan and place back on the stove over high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add 3 cups of the chicken stock and the herbs, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the mushrooms to the bread, and then add the onion/stock mixture, egg, salt and pepper, and gently stir until combined. The dressing should be very wet, add more stock as needed. Scrape the mixture into a buttered 13 by 9 by 2-inch glass baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, and continue baking until the top is golden brown, about 30 to 40 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

SOURDOUGH DRESSING

While we love our traditional Thanksgiving recipes, sometimes we want to change things up. This sourdough stuffing is a fun twist on an old favorite. Whenever we make it after the big feast, we like to add a cup or more of leftover cubed turkey. -Pat Dazis, Charlotte, North Carolina

Yield 10-12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 loaf (1 lb) sourdough bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 lb. mushrooms, rinsed
1 T. butter or margarine
2 onions (about 3/4 lb total), peeled and chopped
1 C. chopped celery
2 T. minced garlic
2 C. chicken broth (fat-free)
2 jars marinated artichoke hearts, drained
1/2 C. grated parmesan cheese
1 1/2 t. poultry seasoning
1 1/2 T. minced fresh rosemary leaves
Salt and pepper
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Spread bread cubes in a single layer in 2 pans, bake in 350 degree oven about 25 min or until golden. Turn cubes over, switch pan positions, etc. Trim and discard discolored mushroom ends, slice mushrooms. Over high heat in 10-12" fry pan, combine butter, mushrooms, onions, celery and garlic. Stir often until lightly browned, about 15 mins. Pour into large bowl. Add a little broth to pan and stir/scrape bits free and add. Pour 2 C. broth into bowl and add toasted bread, art hearts, cheese, seasoning and rosemary; mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Make a well in dressing, add egg, beat w/fork to blend then mix egg w/dressing. Spoon into a shallow 3-Qt (9x13) casserole. For moist dressing cover w/foil. Bake in 325-350 oven until hot or lightly browned, about 50 minutes (1 hour if chilled).

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vinegars: Different vinegars can impart different flavors to your dressing. Try experimenting with white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or balsamic vinegar to find your favorite combination.
  • Add some sweetness: A little bit of sugar or honey can help to balance out the acidity of the vinegar. If you're using a sweeter vinegar, such as balsamic, you can omit the added sugar.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs can add a lot of flavor to your dressing. Try using chives, tarragon, or basil. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
  • Let your dressing sit: Allowing your dressing to sit for a while before using it allows the flavors to meld together. If you can, make your dressing a few hours or even a day in advance.
  • Dress your salad just before serving: Dressing your salad too early can make the greens wilt. It's best to dress your salad just before serving.

Conclusion:

Sourdough dressing is a versatile and delicious dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like your dressing tangy, sweet, or herby, there's a sourdough dressing recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a new salad dressing, give sourdough dressing a try.
