Ingredients

  • 1 loaf country white type of bread
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup olive oil plus 1 tablespoon
  • 2 tablespoons minced rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon rubbed Sage
  • 1 medium clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 red onion diced
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 1/2 fennel bulb cut in half lengthwise and then sliced
  • 1 sweet apple diced
  • 1/4 cup mango chutney
  • 1/2 cup mixture of dried cranberries and raisins
  • 3/4 - 1 cup vegetable broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 egg lightly beaten

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Slice the loaf of bread into thick slices and then tear the slices into 1-inch pieces.
  • Pour ¼ cup olive oil and 4 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan and warm over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic, and 1 tablespoon of rosemary, and then add the bread cubes.
  • Toss with two spoons or spatulas to coat the bread thoroughly.
  • Sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon of sage and toss again to distribute.
  • Sauté the bread for 7-10 minutes until it is browned and toasted on the edges.
  • Remove from heat and spoon the mixture into a large bowl, throwing out the blackened herbs and garlic from the bottom of the pan.
  • Wipe out the pan and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter, and warm over low-medium heat.
  • Add the onions and sauté until they are translucent.
  • Add the fennel, apples, and celery.
  • Cook until just tender and then turn off the heat.
  • Spoon the mango chutney into the pan and stir quickly with the apple mixture.
  • Pour the hot veggies and fruit over the toasted breadcrumbs and toss to mix the ingredients.
  • Mix in the cranberries and raisins and add just enough of the broth to moisten the stuffing, and add in the beaten egg if you like a really moist stuffing.
  • Season with the remaining rosemary, sage, and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place the stuffing in a baking dish, cover with a lid or foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove cover and bake for another 10 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and serve.
