DRESSING WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• On the day before cooking, cut the cornbread, French bread and ciabatta into 1-inch cubes. Spread them out on 2 baking sheets and let them dry for approximately 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Drizzle the Brussels sprouts and butternut squash with olive oil in a roasting pan and roast for 30 to 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, warm up a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and bacon pieces. When the bacon is cooked, add the celery, carrots and onions and cook until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth, then add the parsley, rosemary, basil, thyme, and some salt and pepper and stir until combined. Cook for a couple of minutes.
• Get the cooked sprouts and squash out of the oven and reduce the temperature to 375 degrees F.
• Place the dried bread cubes into a large bowl and mix them up a bit. Add the roasted Brussels sprouts, squash, pecans and dried cherries and mix.
• Gradually ladle the broth mixture into the bread, tossing lightly as you go. Add a little more salt and pepper, then toss around and taste to check the seasoning. If you like it more moist, splash in more broth until it reaches the consistency that you like.
• Pile the dressing into a large casserole dish and bake until golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Stir together.
• Measure the buttermilk and milk into a measuring cup and add the egg. Stir together with a fork. Add the baking soda and stir.
• Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a fork until combined.
• In a small bowl, melt 1/4 cup shortening in the microwave. Slowly add the melted shortening to the batter, stirring until just combined.
• In a cast-iron skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons shortening over medium heat. Pour the batter into the hot skillet. (The batter should sizzle.) Spread to even out the surface. Cook on the stovetop for 1 minute, and then transfer to the oven and bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. The edges should be crispy!

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS, BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND APPLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large, shallow, baking dish, toss the brussels sprouts, butternut squash, apple and shallot with olive oil and sage leaves. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bake without stirring until vegetables and apple are wrinkled, slightly brown, and the edges of the squash are beginning to crisp, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Meanwhile, prepare the walnuts.
• For the walnuts: Place a deep fryer or high-sided saucepan over high heat, and add vegetable or canola oil to come no closer than 3 inches from the top of the pot; when walnuts are added the oil will bubble and rise. Heat to 375 degrees. If using a saucepan, reduce heat to very low to hold temperature.
• In a medium pot over high heat, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add walnuts and boil for 10 seconds. Drain well and immediately toss with confectioners' sugar. Spread flat on a baking sheet and allow to dry for a few minutes.
• Have baking sheet lined with paper towels nearby. Working in batches if necessary, add walnuts to oil and stir once or twice. Fry until amber-brown, about 30 seconds. Using a wire skimmer or heatproof slotted spoon, remove walnuts from oil, and transfer to paper towels. Sprinkle lightly with salt and allow to cool for 5 minutes before handling. May be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
• To serve: Remove vegetables from oven, drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with 2 to 3 tablespoons of halved or roughly crumbled walnut pieces. Serve, if desired, with walnut bread.
