Whole Wheat Bread And Roasted Vegetable Stuffing Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil or butter a 2-quart baking dish. Place cubed bread in a large bowl.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet. Add onion and celery and cook, stirring, until onion is tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and scrape into bowl with the bread. Add remaining olive oil to bowl and all of the other ingredients except egg and stock. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss well.
• Beat egg in a small bowl and whisk in 1/2 cup of stock. Scrape into bread mixture and mix together well. Turn into prepared baking dish. Douse mixture with remaining stock (hold back about 1/4 cup if you are going to reheat). Dot top with butter.
• Cover baking dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake another 15 minutes, until top is nicely browned. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Divide bread between 2 rimmed baking sheets and spread in a single layer. Bake, stirring a few times, until crisp and dry, about 40 minutes. Let cool. Break a piece open to make sure it's dried all the way through; if not, bake a few more minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onions, fennel, and 2 teaspoons salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft and golden in places, 7 to 9 minutes. Add garlic, apple, rosemary, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook 1 minute. Pour in wine; cook until mostly evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees. Brush a 2 1/2-quart baking dish with butter. Add onion mixture to bowl with toasted bread; add parsley. Drizzle with stock, stirring to combine. Stir in eggs to evenly coat. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Top with buttered parchment; loosely wrap with foil. (If making ahead, refrigerate at this point until you're ready to bake.) Bake 20 minutes. Uncover; continue cooking until golden on top, about 20 minutes more. Serve, with more parsley sprinkled on top.

Steps:

• Cut bread into cubes and set aside in a large bowl. (Bread crumbs need not be dried.).
• Peel onion and garlic cloves. Wash all vegetables and clean seeds from red pepper.
• Slice onions, garlic, celery, red pepper, and mushrooms, discarding the stems.
• Saute onions and celery in olive oil for several minutes, slowly stirring in half the spices (except for sage).
• Add garlic, red pepper, and remainder of spices, continuing to saute vegetables.
• Add mushrooms and continue to stir all vegetables as they cook. Add more olive oil as needed.
• Scramble eggs in a separate bowl. Remove vegetables from burner before onions brown.
• Add vegetables to bread cubes in bowl and stir. Add broth and continue to stir until moist.
• Add eggs and sage to stuffing mixture in bowl and mix until evenly distributed.
• Spray or wipe baking pans with olive oil. Place and distribute bread crumb mixture in pans.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake dressing mixture in hot oven for 20-30 minutes (uncovered).
• Remove stuffing from oven once it is crisp and lightly browned on top but still moist inside.
• Cover with foil and keep stuffing warm until it is ready to serve.
