Hawaiian Stuffing Recipes

HAWAIIAN HAM AND PINEAPPLE STUFFING

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 250 degrees F. Spread out the bread on 2 baking sheets. Bake, rotating the pans and stirring halfway through, until lightly toasted, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ham, onion, celery, jalapeño, thyme, sage, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat. Let cool slightly.
• Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the bread and ham mixture. Transfer the stuffing to the prepared dish. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pineapple and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the brown sugar and stir until just dissolved, about 30 seconds.
• Uncover the stuffing and scatter the pineapple on top. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the softened butter in a medium baking dish or gratin dish.

• Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the sausage. Cook the sausage, stirring and breaking up the meat, until brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn the heat to medium and add the onion, carrots and celery and cook until the vegetables are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add the rosemary and sage and cook for 1 more minute. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine the toasted bread, sausage, vegetable mixture and raisins in a large bowl. Combine the stock and egg in a medium bowl and whisk until well blended. Add the stock mixture to the bread mixture and fold together.
• Transfer the stuffing to the prepared baking dish and bake until the top is crispy and hot through the center, 35 to 45 minutes.
