Yield Makes about 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2-ounce package dried porcini mushrooms*
1 cup boiling water
2 hot Italian sausages (6 to 7 ounces total), casings removed
1/2 cup chopped shallots (3 large)
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 cups 1/3-inch cubes crustless day-old country-style bread
1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed very dry
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
Coarse kosher salt
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Place porcini in small bowl; pour 1 cup boiling water over. Let stand until soft, about 45 minutes. Drain, reserving soaking liquid. Chop porcini; set aside.
  • Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sausage; sauté until brown, breaking up into small pieces with back of fork. Add porcini, shallots, and garlic. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook until sausage is cooked through, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Transfer sausage mixture and any juices to medium bowl. Stir bread cubes, spinach, and rosemary into sausage mixture. Season with coarse salt and pepper. Mix in 1/4 cup reserved porcini soaking liquid. Cover and chill stuffing overnight.
  • Bring stuffing to room temperature. Just before using, whisk egg to blend in small bowl and mix into stuffing.
  • Available in the produce section of many supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Italian markets.

This stuffing recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now, and it's always a hit. The spinach and porcini mushrooms add a lot of flavor, and the bread cubes are perfectly moist and flavorful. I highly recommend this recipe.

I thought this stuffing was just okay. It was a bit bland for my taste, and the texture was a little mushy. I wouldn't make it again.

The stuffing was a little dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I would add more moisture next time, perhaps by using more broth or butter.
