A natural companion to Echo Herb Chicken, this dish is also an excellent accompaniment to Roast Cockatrice. Use any leftovers to make Cockatrice Pie.
- 1 pound sourdough bread
- 1 pound hot Italian pork sausage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion or two small onions, peeled and diced (about 1½ cups)
- 4 medium carrots, chopped (about 1½ cups)
- 4 celery stalks, diced (about 1 cup)
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup chopped Italian parsley
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1½ cups chicken broth
- ½ cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
The day before you want to serve the stuffing, cut the bread into ½-inch cubes. Spread the cubes out on a baking sheet and leave them uncovered on the counter or in the oven to dry overnight.
Remove the casings from the sausage and chop into ½-inch pieces. Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven and add sausage, onion, carrots, celery, and sea salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sausage is browned and onions are golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Transfer the bread cubes to a large bowl and add the sausage mixture from the skillet. Toss with parsley, sage, thyme, rosemary, and pepper. Add broth and wine and toss until liquid is absorbed. Stir in the eggs.
Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat a 10×15″ ceramic baking dish with cooking spray. Spread the stuffing in the dish, cover tightly with foil, and bake until heated through, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the top is lightly browned and crisp, another 20 to 30 minutes. Serve hot.
