Cooking Recipe Chestnut Stuffing With Pork Sausage
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
Peel the chestnuts and cut each into quarters. Gently simmer the
chestnuts in the stock in a saucepan over medium heat for 10 minutes,
or until tender.
Crumble the sausage and brown it in a frying pan over medium heat.
Transfer the sausage to a colander to drain off the fat.
Melt the butter in the sausage pan. Cook the celery over low heat
for 5 minutes, or until tender, adding the ham after 3 minutes. Stir
in the bread cubes, cooked sausage, cooked chestnuts, half of the
stock, and salt and pepper to taste. Add stock as necessary; the
stuffing should be moist but not soggy.
Spoon the stuffing into a buttered baking dish; cover with foil and
bake in a 350F oven for 15 minutes, or until thoroughly heated.
Alternatively, spoon the stuffing into the cavity of a capon or
turkey.
