Coarse salt and ground pepper
10 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, diced small
2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 9-inch sourdough boule
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 1/2 pounds mixed mushrooms, thinly sliced (cremini, shiitake, oyster and/or chanterelle)
4 celery ribs, cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups toasted walnut halves and pieces, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon finely minced thyme
1 tablespoon finely minced rosemary
1 tablespoon finely minced oregano
3 1/2 cups vegetable broth, preferably organic

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
  • Tear the boule into 1-inch pieces and evenly divide between 2 medium sheet trays. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then spread out into a flat, even layer.
  • Bake on the upper and lower racks for 15 minutes; remove and toss, then switch the position of the sheet trays and bake until golden brown and crunchy, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • While the croutons bake, heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons olive oil and add half of the mushrooms; spread into an even layer. Cook for 5 minutes, undisturbed. Stir and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, then add the remaining mushrooms. Cook until golden brown and softened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then pour into a large bowl.
  • Heat the skillet again over medium heat. Drizzle in 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil and add the celery and scallions. Cook, stirring often, until they begin to soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and add to the large bowl.
  • Next, add the walnuts, thyme, rosemary, oregano and croutons; toss to combine. Add 2 cups of the broth, stir and let absorb for a few minutes, then add 1 cup. Stir and pour into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; add the remaining 1/2 cup broth and finish with a drizzle of olive oil.

WALNUT MUSHROOM STUFFING



WALNUT MUSHROOM STUFFING image

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound walnut bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 pound sweet French country bread, crusts removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
5 tablespoons unsalted butter + butter to grease pan
3 cups chopped onion, in 1/2-inch pieces
3 celery stalks, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 pound shiitake or other wild mushrooms, stemmed and quartered
1/2 pound brown or button mushrooms, quartered (or pre-sliced)
Kosher salt to taste
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary, or about 1/4 teaspoon dried
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup currants or raisins
3 cups low-sodium chicken, turkey or vegetable broth

Steps:

  • Instructions: Place the bread cubes in a single layer on baking sheets and let dry overnight. Or, place in a 200° oven until very dry but not crispy, about 40 minutes. Let cool slightly. Preheat the oven to 350°. Butter a Dutch oven, deep casserole or a 13 x 9-inch glass baking pan. (A deeper casserole yields a moister stuffing.) Put the bread in a very large bowl. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and saute until tender but not browned, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour the vegetables over the bread. Melt 2 more tablespoons butter in the skillet and add the shiitake and brown mushrooms. Sprinkle with a little salt and the thyme, sage and rosemary. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the mushrooms brown slightly, but don't cook long enough for them to begin releasing liquid. Scrape the contents of the pan into the bowl. Sprinkle the 2 teaspoons salt, lots of black pepper, and the currants over the stuffing. Toss together, then slowly drizzle in the broth, tossing well to moisten all of the bread in the bowl. If needed, add enough water so the bread is saturated with liquid. Place in the prepared pan, dot with remaining butter and cover the pan with foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Uncover, increase oven temperature to 400° and bake until crusty on top, 15-20 minutes.

Categories     Sausage Stuffing and Dressing

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. Cook in its own juices until browned, breaking up sausage into bite-sized pieces while cooking, 3 to 5 minutes. Add onion mixture to the skillet and saute until soft, about 10 minutes.
  • 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.
