INSTRUCTIONS
Recipe by: Anthony Dias Blue and Kathryn K. Blue Preheat the oven to 300
degrees. Spread the bread cubes in a single layer on 2 large cookie
sheets. Bake until crisp, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
Crumble the sausage meat into a large skillet, and saute over medium heat
until cooked through, about 12 minutes. Add to the bread cubes, using a
slotted spoon. In the same skillet, saute the onion and celery until
transparent, about 10 minutes. Add to the bread mixture. Mix in the water
chestnuts, pecans, parsley, and sage. Add the stock and butter and toss to
combine (the mixture will be dry). Season with salt and freshly ground
pepper. Yield is about 16 cups of stuffing. Advance preparation: Can be
prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature
before using.
Comments: This is a rich, earthy, and extremely delicious stuffing with
great texture.
