Description
A comforting side dish featuring tender artisan sourdough bread, earthy mushrooms, and aromatic herbs, perfect for Thanksgiving or family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups day-old artisan sourdough bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 cups shiitake or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup onions, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh sage, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh thyme, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2–3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep your bread: Cut your day-old sourdough into 1-inch cubes. Spread them out on a baking sheet and let them dry out for a few hours or even overnight.
- Sauté aromatics: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions and garlic, sautéing until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add mushrooms: Toss in sliced mushrooms and sauté until they release their moisture and become tender, about 5-8 minutes.
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, combine sautéed mixture with dried bread cubes, stirring in herbs, salt, and pepper.
- Moisten with broth: Gradually add broth while tossing mixture until moist but fluffy.
- Bake it: Transfer to a greased baking dish, cover with foil, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Let it rest: Allow the stuffing to sit for a few minutes before serving.
