Herby Sausage Apple Sourdough Stuffing Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Place the bread cubes in a single layer on a sheet pan and bake for 7 minutes. Raise the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Remove the bread cubes to a very large bowl.
• Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, melt the butter and add the onions, celery, apples, parsley, salt and pepper. Saute over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the vegetables are softened. Add to the bread cubes.
• In the same saute pan, cook the sausage over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until browned and cooked through, breaking up the sausage with a fork while cooking. Add to the bread cubes and vegetables.
• Add the chicken stock and cranberries to the mixture, mix well, and pour into a 9 by 12-inch baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes, until browned on top and hot in the middle. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a baking dish.
• Heat 1/2 cup water in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up into 1-inch pieces until no longer pink and most of the water has evaporated. Drain and discard any grease.
• Add butter and increase heat. As sausage starts to sizzle, add onion, celery, and garlic. Cook to a light to medium brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add parsley, sage, and rosemary; cook for 2 to 4 minutes.
• Add bread cubes and turn gently to moisten, being careful not to break them. Add more chicken broth in 1/4-cup increments, if needed. Taste and season with salt and pepper, being careful not to burn yourself. Transfer stuffing to the prepared baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until golden brown, another 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tear the bread into chunks, tip into a roasting tin and toss in the oil. Roast for 10-15 mins until crisp. Pour over the stock, then leave to cool.
• Heat the butter and a drop of oil in a pan. Cook the leeks and onions over a low-medium heat for 15 mins until soft and starting to caramelise. Stir in the fennel seeds. Leave to cool.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Squeeze the sausage meat from the skins into a bowl. Add the apples, herbs, egg, leek and onion mix, and a grinding of black pepper. Combine everything well with your hands. Mix in the bread and press into a roasting tin. Drizzle the sage leaves with oil and press onto the stuffing. Bake for 30 mins until golden.
