Hawaiian Tropical Stuffing Recipes

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 250 degrees F. Spread out the bread on 2 baking sheets. Bake, rotating the pans and stirring halfway through, until lightly toasted, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ham, onion, celery, jalapeño, thyme, sage, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat. Let cool slightly.
• Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the bread and ham mixture. Transfer the stuffing to the prepared dish. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pineapple and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the brown sugar and stir until just dissolved, about 30 seconds.
• Uncover the stuffing and scatter the pineapple on top. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the softened butter in a medium baking dish or gratin dish.
• Toss the cubed bread with 2 tablespoons olive oil and the Italian seasoning in a large bowl. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until crispy, about 10 minutes.
• Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the sausage. Cook the sausage, stirring and breaking up the meat, until brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn the heat to medium and add the onion, carrots and celery and cook until the vegetables are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add the rosemary and sage and cook for 1 more minute. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine the toasted bread, sausage, vegetable mixture and raisins in a large bowl. Combine the stock and egg in a medium bowl and whisk until well blended. Add the stock mixture to the bread mixture and fold together.
• Transfer the stuffing to the prepared baking dish and bake until the top is crispy and hot through the center, 35 to 45 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish and set aside. 2. Place the butter or margarine in a large skillet, and melt over medium heat. Add the celery, onion, pineapple, and cilantro, and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft. 3. Stir the coconut milk into the skillet mixture. Then stir in the stuffing mix, macadamia nuts, shredded coconut, and egg. 4. Transfer the stuffing to the prepared dish, cover, and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until heated through. If a crisp top is desired, uncover the dish and bake for 10 additional minutes.

Steps:

• Mix hot water and butter in bowl. Stir in stuffing mix. When moistened, add the pineapple in syrup and stir until blended. Microwave on HIGH for 5 to 6 minutes until heated through. Fluff with fork.
