Scarborough Fair Stuffing Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter and saute onion, mushrooms, and garlic.
• Add herbs to butter.
• Mix butter into bread cubes; if needed, add hot water to moisten through.
• Place in greased pan and bake at 325 for 1 hour.
• If using to stuff a bird, make sure that the bird is thoroughly cooked- salmonella is bad (note the advanced doctor terms I use).

Steps:

• Place the cooking rack about 6 inches from the bottom of the oven, and preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken giblets, and any feathers or extra fat; rinse the chicken inside and out with cold running water and pat dry.
• Generously salt and pepper the chicken, inside and out.
• Stuff the cavity with sprigs of parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, and the quartered lemon.
• Place chicken breast side up into a large Dutch oven or Le Creuset pan, tucking legs together (tie legs together with string, if necessary) and tucking the wing tips under the body of the chicken.
• Brush outside of chicken with melted butter, drizzle with wine, and sprinkle generously with additional salt and pepper.
• Roast the chicken for about 45 minutes, or until chicken is nicely browned.
• When chicken has browned, cover loosely with aluminum foil and continue to roast for an additional 25-35 minutes, or until juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh.
• Remove chicken from oven to a platter and cover with aluminum foil; let rest for 15 minutes.
• Before serving, remove the herb stuffing from inside the bird, discard.
• Make a gravy from the drippings if desired, and serve with slices of roast chicken, stuffing, seasonal veggies, and mashed potatoes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the breads, herbs, salt and pepper. Combine the eggs, broth and butter; add to bread mixture and stir until moistened. Transfer to a greased 13"x9" baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes or until thermometer reads 160 degrees F.
