Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups cubed bread or stuffing mix
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 cups chicken stock or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing your ingredients: finely chop the onion, celery, and garlic, and chop all the fresh herbs.
Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter in the pan.
Once the butter has melted, add the chopped onion and celery to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables become soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken stock or vegetable broth, stirring to incorporate the flavors.
Add the fresh parsley, sage, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, stirring well to combine.
Turn the heat to low and gently incorporate the cubed bread or stuffing mix, stirring until the bread is fully coated with the broth mixture.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for about 5 minutes on low heat, allowing the bread to soak up the liquid.
After 5 minutes, remove the lid and check the texture of the stuffing. It should be moist but not soggy. If needed, you can add more broth a little at a time.
Fluff the stuffing with a fork before serving to give it a light, airy texture. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve warm as a side dish to your main course. Enjoy your homemade stove top stuffing!
