Mushroom and Herb Stuffing
Serves: 8

Ingredients
  • 1 loaf country-style French bread, baguette, or sourdough with crust cut into 1-inch cubes (about 14-15 ounces) (Loaf, Strong Arm, and Ninth Street)
  • 10 tablespoons butter
  • 1 pound any mushrooms (Haw River Mushrooms)
  • 2 shallots finely sliced
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 2 bunches green onions thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
  • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
  • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 3 large garlic clove minced
  • 2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups chicken broth, divided
  • 4 ounces freshly grated Parmesan cheese (ask Chapel Hill Creamery and Boxcarr Cheese for recommendations)

Instructions
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread the cubed bread on large rimmed baking sheet and transfer into the oven. Bake until bread is dry, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and shallots and saute until golden, about 7 minutes. Add the celery, green onions, various herbs, garlic, salt and pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes more.
  • Generously grease a large baking dish.
  • Place the bread cubes in large bowl. Add the warm vegetable mixture; toss to combine.
  • Whisk the eggs and 3/4 cup broth in medium bowl. Add egg mixture to stuffing and toss to coat. Mix in Parmesan.
  • Add more broth (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup) to stuffing if it still looks and feels dry. Transfer to skillet or baking dish. Cover with buttered foil. Bake 30 minutes. Remove foil; bake until golden, about 30 minutes.

Do I need to dry my bread cubes?

You do!! I prep my bread cubes a few days ahead of time and let them dry out on the counter. This way they still maintain their shape/bulk when you add the eggs, parmesan and stock. If you don’t have time to let the bread cubes dry out a few days ahead of time, you can toast it in the oven the day of no problem!

What kind of bread should I use for Thanksgiving stuffing recipe?

I love a really great french loaf, a baguette, sourdough, or any other type of hearty bread. The only breads I would stay away from would be a brioche or anything generally soft.

Do I need to use eggs in stuffing?

I prefer stuffing with eggs for many reasons. First, it acts as a binder. Two, it doesn’t fall apart when you serve it. Three, it feels a little bit more filling and custardy!

Can I prepare stuffing ahead of time?

You sure can! I do all the time. I’ll prep the bread and the butter/herb mixture a day or so ahead of time so all I have to do on the day of the feast is mix everything together and bake. Easy.

Can you freeze Thanksgiving stuffing?

You sure can! Once you’re done baking it, let it cool, and then transfer it into smaller glass containers and freeze. When it’s time to eat it, just warm it up in a toaster oven, in the oven or in the microwave until it’s warmed throughout.

** FARM NEWS:  

Organic sweet potatoes on our family farm?... Never before until this year!  And did Mario grow the most delicious crop of potatoes and in abundance in our certified organic, rich garden soils.
We will be offering gift boxes starting this week in 10 lb. and 20 lb. boxes... all $2 per lb.... in addition to potatoes by the lb. at the farm stand Saturday. A "curing" house was built this summer on the farm... so the potatoes could be "cooked or cured" to enhance their natural sweetness. Immediately after being dug, they were placed in this high humidity room at 85 degrees F for ten days to "cure." The skins thickened and they are sweeter and more shelf stable. Now, they should be kept around 50-55 degrees F until consumed. What a learning experience!

The organic strawberry plants have all been planted ... hopefully you will be able to enjoy berries next spring. Another item we will be offering for two markets only... are THANKSGIVING wreaths.. made with boxwood from around the old farmhouse, red peppers, fragrant holly, and the magnificent blooms from the greenhouse yellow and orange marigolds.  Pre-order your wreath for Saturday, Nov. 20th or Tues., Nov. 23rd delivery... such an attractive way to greet family and friends to your home for Thanksgiving. (see pic)

It is not too early to be thinking about ordering your beautiful greenery holiday wreaths... each meticulously made by Mario from greenery on the farm. We will have two sizes.. small ($45) or large ($55), starting with the first delivery on Tuesday, November 23rd. A sign-in sheet is at our check-out table on Saturday's... reserve yours now. 

Thank you for your continued support of our Century Family Farm!
