A delectable holiday stuffing recipe that combines the earthy flavors of roasted chestnuts and rye bread with the savory goodness of crispy bacon and sweet caramelized onions. This dish is sure to be a crowd-pleaser at your festive gatherings.
Ingredients: 1 pound 450g rye bread, cubed. 1 cup 150g roasted chestnuts, chopped. 8 slices of bacon, chopped. 2 large onions, thinly sliced. 4 cloves garlic, minced. 1/2 cup 120ml chicken or vegetable broth. 2 tablespoons 30g butter. 2 tablespoons 30ml olive oil. 2 teaspoons 10g dried sage. 1 teaspoon 5g dried thyme. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Set the oven temperature to 175C 350F. Cook the bacon in a big skillet over medium heat until crispy. After taking the bacon out of the skillet, pat dry with paper towels. Put it away. Add the olive oil and butter to the same skillet. After the butter has melted, add the sliced onions and cook over medium-low heat for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring now and then, until they are soft and caramelized. To the caramelized onions, add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried sage. Cook, stirring constantly, for an additional two minutes. Place the cooked bacon, chopped roasted chestnuts, and cubed rye bread in a large mixing bowl. Add the caramelized onion mixture and taste and adjust with salt and pepper. Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the stuffing mixture slowly, making sure to moisten it evenly. Mix everything until thoroughly incorporated. Spoon the stuffing mixture into a baking dish that has been greased, then cover with aluminum foil. For the final ten minutes of baking, take off the foil to allow the top to crisp up. Bake in the preheated oven for twenty to thirty minutes. Take the stuffing out of the oven when the top is crispy and golden brown. For your holiday feast, serve the Chestnut and Rye Stuffing with Bacon and Caramelized Onions hot as a delectable side dish!
