Cornbread Stuffing With Oysters And Andouille Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and butter a 3-quart baking dish. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring, until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
• Melt the remaining 6 tablespoons butter in the skillet, then add the onion, celery, sage, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add 3 cups broth and bring to a boil; remove from the heat.
• Whisk the eggs and parsley in a large bowl. Add the potato bread, cornbread, sausage and vegetable-broth mixture and stir until combined, adding up to 1/2 cup more broth if necessary. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with the turkey drippings (or dot with butter).
• Cover the dish with foil and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and bake until golden, about 35 more minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Melt 10 tablespoons of the butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the ham and cook, infusing the butter with the ham flavor, about 5 minutes. Remove the ham to a large mixing bowl with the cornbread, leaving the butter in the skillet.
• Add the garlic, celery, leeks, onions, sage and thyme to the skillet with the flavored butter. Sweat the vegetable mixture over medium heat, stirring as needed, until the vegetables are softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the wine and continue to cook over medium heat until the wine is reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the oyster liquor and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and let cool at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add the oysters to the mixing bowl with the cornbread and ham. Pour the cooled vegetables into the mixing bowl and lightly mix together. Season with salt and pepper, then fold in the parsley and eggs (see Cook's Note).
• Grease the inside of the same skillet with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Transfer the cornbread mixture to the skillet, making sure it's evenly distributed throughout the skillet. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the top is nice and browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool before serving, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Grease a 9-by-13 baking dish with vegetable oil. Heat the 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add andouille, onion, celery, bell pepper and jalapenos. Cook, stirring, for 5 to 8 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften. Remove from heat. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine cornbread with stock. Add cooked vegetables, eggs, oysters, scallions, parsley, salt, pepper, cayenne, poultry seasoning, oregano and thyme. With your hands mix all ingredients well. Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil and bake 1 hour. Remove baking dish from oven, uncover, bake another 20 minutes, until the top of the stuffing is golden brown and crusty. Remove from the oven; let sit at least 15 minutes before serving. Leftovers can be refrigerated for 1 or 2 days.

Steps:

• Set aside the prepared and cubed cornbread.
• Grease a 9 × 13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the andouille, onion, celery, bell pepper, and jalapeños to the skillet, and cook, stirring, for 5 to 8 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften. Remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornbread with the stock, then add the cooked vegetables, the eggs, oysters, scallions, parsley, salt, cayenne pepper, poultry seasoning, oregano, and thyme. Using your hands, mix all the ingredients together to combine. Transfer the cornbread mixture to the prepared baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 1 hour. Remove the baking dish from the oven, uncover, and bake for an additional 20 minutes, until the top of the stuffing is golden brown and crusty. Remove the dish from the oven, and let sit for at least 15 minutes before serving.
