Mushroom And Leek Cornbread Dressing Recipes

CORNBREAD DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt butter in a large saute pan. Add onions, garlic, and celery; cook over medium heat until just tender, about 8 minutes.
• Crumble the cornbread into a large bowl, and add the onion mixture, parsley, thyme, oregano, eggs, chicken stock, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
• Transfer mixture to a buttered 2-quart casserole or large ovenproof skillet, and bake until golden on top and cooked through, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven, and serve hot.

CLASSIC STUFFING

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet. Add onions and celery, and cook over medium heat until onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Add sage, stir to combine, and cook 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1/2 cup stock, and stir well. Cook for about 5 minutes, until liquid has reduced by half.
• Transfer onion mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add all remaining ingredients, including the remaining stock; mix to combine.

CORNBREAD DRESSING WITH SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, using a wooden spoon to break it up, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a medium bowl, leaving the sausage fat in the skillet. Add the mushrooms, celery and onions to the skillet and saute, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the sage and cook 2 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat. Place the cubed cornbread in a large bowl and add the sauteed vegetables and sausage and stir to combine. Set to the side and let cool slightly. Whisk the chicken broth, milk, egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Pour over the cornbread mixture and gently stir to coat. (If not baking right away, refrigerate until ready to bake.)
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Bake until golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.

VEGAN STUFFING WITH MUSHROOMS AND LEEKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Divide bread between two rimmed baking sheets and spread in a single layer. Bake, stirring a few times, until crisp and dried all the way through, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Heat 5 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add mushrooms, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer to bowl with toasted bread. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same skillet. Add leeks, celery, and thyme sprigs; cook until vegetables are softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic, chopped thyme, and red-pepper flakes; cook 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup broth and cook, scraping up browned bits from bottom, until evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Discard thyme sprigs. Transfer to bowl with bread; let cool 5 minutes. Meanwhile, brush a 2- to 2 1/2-quart baking dish with oil.
• Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees. Add parsley to bowl with bread; toss to combine. Slowly drizzle with remaining 1 1/2 cups broth, stirring to moisten. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Loosely cover with parchment-lined foil. Bake 20 minutes. Uncover; continue baking until golden on top, 25 minutes more. Serve, sprinkled with more parsley if desired.
