COUNTRY HARVEST STUFFING

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the bread cubes in a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Spread the bread cubes on two baking sheets and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly toasted, shaking pans occasionally. Return to the bowl.
• 2. Brown the sausage in a heavy pan over medium heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove the sausage to the bowl, discarding any fat. Place the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the pan and sauté the onions, celery, garlic, and sage over medium-low heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until wilted, stirring often. Combine with the bread cubes, cranberries, pecans, and prunes.
• 3. Drizzle the broth over the mixture to moisten as desired, then toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Bake, covered with aluminum foil, in an oven-to-table dish at 350°F for 30 to 45 minutes. Serve from the dish.

• Press the mixture into the baking dish. Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the top is brown and crisp.

BOBBIFIED AUSTRIAN COUNTRY STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Coarsely dice the onions and celery so there is the same amount of each. Saute the vegetables in the oil in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, to release the juices, about 10 minutes. Add the sweet and hot paprikas and parsley flakes and continue stirring another 10 minutes. Remove from the pan into large bowl.
• Cut the bread into 1/4-inch cubes. Slowly mix the bread into the onion and celery mixture, until all the juices are soaked up.
• Beat the eggs with the milk in a small bowl. Mix into the stuffing.
• Chop the poblanos into a fine dice. Mix the poblanos, sage and thyme into the stuffing. Place the stuffing in a large baking dish. Add the chicken stock and combine. Cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
