Sweet Plantain And Sausage Stuffing Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚. Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up the meat, until no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onions, celery, sage and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
• Whisk the eggs and parsley in a large bowl. Add the bread cubes and sausage-broth mixture and toss until evenly combined. Transfer to the prepared baking dish, dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cover with foil.
• Bake the stuffing until hot, about 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Place the bread cubes in a single layer on a sheet pan and bake for 7 minutes. Raise the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Remove the bread cubes to a very large bowl.
• Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, melt the butter and add the onions, celery, apples, parsley, salt and pepper. Saute over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the vegetables are softened. Add to the bread cubes.
• In the same saute pan, cook the sausage over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until browned and cooked through, breaking up the sausage with a fork while cooking. Add to the bread cubes and vegetables.
• Add the chicken stock and cranberries to the mixture, mix well, and pour into a 9 by 12-inch baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes, until browned on top and hot in the middle. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the stuffing cubes in a large bowl and set aside. In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the jalapenos, onion, bell pepper and thyme, then sprinkle with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onion and bell pepper are tender, then add the garlic. Cook until the garlic is tender, then remove the vegetables to the bowl with the stuffing cubes.
• Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and place back on the heat. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan. When the butter is melted and bubbling, add the plantains and sprinkle with salt. Saute, while tossing, until the plantains are golden and caramelized on the edges, 6 to 8 minutes. Pour over the stuffing in the bowl. Add the chicken stock and stir or mix with your hands.
• Pour and press the stuffing into an 8-inch square baking dish, cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until golden, another 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Place chunks of plantains onto greased baking sheet and place in oven for 20 minutes at 350, flipping them over half way to make sure both sides crisp up.
• Alternately, plantains chunks can be fried instead.
• In greased pan split open sausages, remove casing, and break them apart.
• Once meat is browned some, add onions and raisins along with 1/2 of the broth.
• Let the mixture simmer for a bit.
• Add plantains and stuffing, along with the remainder of broth.
• Toss together and place ingredients into greased baking dish.
• Cover with aluminum foil and place in oven for 15 minutes at 350.
• Remove from oven, uncover, add egg white and milk then fluff some with a fork.
• Place uncovered in oven for another 20 minutes.
• Once done, toss the mixture with a spoon and either place inside turkey or enjoy with some gravy.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the stuffing cubes in a large bowl and set aside. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the jalapeno, onions, bell peppers, and thyme, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook until the onions and bell peppers are tender, and then add the garlic. Cook until the garlic is tender, and then remove to the bowl with the stuffing cubes. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and place back on the heat. Add the remaining butter and olive oil to the pan. When the butter is melted and bubbly, add the plantains and sprinkle with salt. Saute, while tossing, until the plantains are golden and caramelized on the edges, 6 to 8 minutes. Pour over the stuffing in the bowl. Add the chicken stock and stir or mix with hands.
• Pour and press the stuffing into an 8 by 8-inch oven dish, cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and cook until the top edges are golden, another 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove sausage from casing and crumble it into a pan over medium heat. Add the celery and onion and cook, stirring, until browned. Drain fat if necessary.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl. Using a spoon, mix in the sausage mixture and all the remaining ingredients. Pour the stuffing into the baking dish and bake until hot and browned, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and butter a shallow 3-quart baking dish. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned and no longer pink, about 6 minutes.
• Add the celery and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sage. Add the broth, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat.
• Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Add the parsley, bread cubes and sausage-broth mixture and stir until combined. Transfer the stuffing to the prepared baking dish. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into small cubes and scatter evenly over the stuffing. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and bake until golden, 20 to 30 more minutes.

Steps:

• To peel the plantains, cut off ends and discard. With a paring knife, make 3 shallow slits lengthwise along the seams of the skin and peel away. Split the plantains lengthwise.
• Heat 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet and place over medium low heat (plantains have a high sugar content and will burn if the heat is too high.)
• Fry the plantains in a single layer, until golden on the bottom then turn over with a spatula.
• Add the cinnamon, vanilla, and sugar and let cook a few more seconds, just to begin caramelizing the sugar.
• Just before serving, melt remaining tablespoon of butter to finish the sauce. Serve immediately.
