Number Of Ingredients 14

6 tablespoons butter
8 ounces pancetta, cut into 1/4 inch dice
2 large onions, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
3 stalks celery, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 (7 1/2 ounce) jars roasted peeled whole chestnuts, coarsely broken
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 lb day-old ciabatta, cut into 3/4 inch cubes
2/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 cup canned low sodium chicken broth (or more)

  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a large bowl.
  • Melt the remaining butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the onions, carrots, celery, rosemary, and garlic.

  • Gently stir in the chestnuts and parsley.
  • Transfer the onion mixture to the large bowl with the pancetta.
  • Add the bread and Parmesan and toss to coat.
  • Add enough broth to the stuffing mixture to moisten.
  • Season the stuffing, to taste, with salt and pepper.
  • Mix in the eggs.
  • Transfer the stuffing to the prepared dish.
  • Cover with buttered foil, buttered side down, and bake until the stuffing is heated through, about 30 minutes.
  • Uncover and continue baking until the top is crisp and golden, about 15 minutes longer.

This stuffing was very easy to make and it turned out great! I used a mix of fresh and dried chestnuts and they added a nice nutty flavor. The pancetta gave the stuffing a nice salty flavor.

This stuffing was a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more broth or stock next time.

This stuffing was a little too salty for my taste. I think I would use less pancetta next time.

This stuffing was a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The chestnuts and pancetta added a delicious savory flavor, and the ciabatta bread held up well without getting soggy. I will definitely be making this again next year.
