Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 cups Day-old crusty bread
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 medium Yellow onion, chopped
- 4 stalks Celery stalks, chopped
- 2 medium Carrots, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh sage, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth (for gravy)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper (for gravy)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cut the day-old crusty bread into 1-inch cubes and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly toasted. Set aside to cool.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter. Add the chopped onions, celery, and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Combine the toasted bread cubes, sautéed vegetables, fresh parsley, fresh sage, and fresh thyme in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and black pepper.
Gradually add 4 cups of broth to the bowl, mixing the ingredients gently until the bread is evenly moistened.
Transfer the stuffing mixture to a large buttered baking dish and cover it with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden brown.
While the stuffing bakes, prepare the gravy. In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour to the saucepan, whisking continuously for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture turns a light golden color.
Slowly pour in 4 cups of broth while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook it for about 10 minutes until thickened.
Season the gravy with 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper and adjust seasoning as necessary.
Once the stuffing is done baking, let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the stuffing with the homemade gravy drizzled on top.
