SAVORY CORNBREAD STUFFING



Savory Cornbread Stuffing image

I find most cornbread to be very sweet. This one is grainy and savory, and the stuffing I make with it is my favorite. This is easily doubled for a larger quantity of stuffing. Bake it in a 3-quart baking dish (it will take about 45 to 50 minutes) or in two 9-inch pans.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     side dish

Time 40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup yellow cornmeal, preferably organic stone ground
1/2 cup all purpose flour or whole wheat flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1 cup plain low-fat yogurt or buttermilk
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon mild honey
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (to taste)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, or 1 tablespoon each olive oil and unsalted butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
Salt to taste
4 stalks celery, cut in small dice
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons rubbed sage, or 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/2 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Freshly ground pepper
A double batch of cornbread (see above), crumbled you can do this in a food processor fitted with the steel blade
1/2 cup milk, or as necessary, for moistening
4 tablespoons unsalted butter if baking separately

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place a 9-inch cast iron skillet, a heavy 2-quart baking dish or a heavy 9-inch square baking pan in the oven while you prepare the batter.
  • Place the cornmeal in a bowl, and sift in the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Stir the mixture with a spoon or whisk to amalgamate. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, yogurt (or buttermilk), milk and honey. Whisk the cornmeal mixture into the liquid mixture. Do not overwork the batter.
  • Remove the pan from the oven, and add the butter to the pan. Swirl the pan so that the butter melts quickly before it gets too brown, then quickly whisk the butter into the batter. Brush the sides of the pan with any butter remaining in the pan.
  • Quickly scrape all of the batter into the hot pan, and place in the oven. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. It will be quite brown on the edges. Allow the bread to cool in the pan, or serve warm.
  • Heat the olive oil (or oil and butter) over medium heat in a large, heavy, nonstick skillet, and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until it begins to soften, about three minutes, and add 1/2 teaspoon salt and the celery. Cook together for another few minutes, until the onion is tender. Add the garlic, and stir together for 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant. Transfer to a large bowl, and add the remaining ingredients. Combine well. Taste and adjust salt. Moisten as desired with milk.
  • Stuff the cavity of the turkey, or transfer to a buttered or oiled 2-quart baking dish. Dot with butter. Cover with aluminum foil, and heat through in a 325-degree oven for 30 minutes.

CORNBREAD DRESSING



Cornbread Dressing image

This is my favorite Cornbread Dressing I use for special holidays. I make my own white bread using my bread machine and my own Skillet Cornbread to use in this recipe. If you prepare the bread ahead of time, you can freeze them until ready to use. I really like this dressing. It is easy to do and has a great flavor. I like to add fresh mushrooms to the mix. Happy Holidays!

EASY CORNBREAD-BROWN BUTTER STUFFING



Easy Cornbread-Brown Butter Stuffing image

For many people, Thanksgiving is one big excuse to eat lots of stuffing. This one is particularly easy to make. Prepare cornbread using any recipe you'd like, then let it sit out until it gets a little stale. Crumble it into large pieces and then sauté with aromatics in deeply browned butter. Be sure to really let the butter brown: that's where much of the flavor is. Drizzle any remaining brown butter over the top of the stuffing once you've transferred it to the baking dish - that will make the top nice and crispy.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     easy, stuffing and dressing, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
9 cups stale cornbread, crumbled into large chunks
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions
2 large eggs
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage or rosemary
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon chile powder
Black pepper, as needed
Turkey or chicken stock (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Cook, undisturbed, until the foam subsides and the butter is a deep brown and smells nutty. Transfer immediately to a heatproof liquid measuring cup or bowl.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cornbread, scallions, 3 tablespoons butter, eggs, sage, salt, chili powder and black pepper. If the mixture looks dry, add a little stock or water.
  • Spoon the stuffing into a 1 1/2 quart gratin dish. Drizzle the remaining butter over the stuffing. (At this point you can wrap well with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight.)
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and bake until crisp and browned on top, about 30 to 45 minutes.

SIMPLE CORNBREAD STUFFING



Simple Cornbread Stuffing image

This is a family recipe (more method than recipe) for no frills, yummy cornbread stuffing from my grandma, who was a great cook. Take care to not put too much liquid in the dressing, but enough that it is moist. You can always add more liquid, but you can't take it out!

Provided by Sidney Street woman

Categories     Grains

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 casseroles, 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 loaves day-old white bread
1 cornbread, baked
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup oil
3 stalks celery
1 onion
salt and pepper
2 -3 tablespoons dried sage
1 quart chicken broth
2 eggs
2 tablespoons dried parsley or 1/4 cup fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Tear up bread into shreds or bite sized pieces and leave out to dry for a couple of hours while you make the cornbread and chop the onion and celery. Bake the cornbread (I often make a 9x13 pan the night before and we have some of it for dinner, saving the rest for the stuffing.) Put the bread into a very large bowl and crumble cornbread over the bread cubes. Sprinkle with sage, a little salt, and pepper, add parsley.
  • Saute' the onion and celery in butter or oil until translucent. Mix this with 2 cups of the chicken broth, and whisk in the 2 eggs. Pour the sauteed vegetables, broth, and egg mixture over the "two breads" mixture and mix gently with your hands. Add more broth as needed until the mixture is well moistened, but not soggy. Taste for salt and sage amounts and add more if needed.
  • Spoon stuffing into one very large or two medium greased casserole pan(s) or into the turkey cavity and bake until done (30-40 minutes) at whatever temperature you have everything else in the oven baking. Usually 350 is the best - watch that it doesn't dry out. You have to be flexible on Thanksgiving or whenever your oven is being used for other things!
