Pumpernickel, Apples and Onion Stuffing
Servings
4 Servings
Ingredients
- ½ a 1 pound loaf pumpernickel bread cut into ½ cinch cubes (10 cups)
- 2 onions sliced
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 garlic cloves chopped
- 1-2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 apple peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon chopped sage or thyme optional
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- If bread is not stale, place on baking sheet and dry in oven at 350 for 20 minutes.
- In a large heavy saute pan, cook onions, in oil on low heat, stirring occasionally about 30 minutes. Add garlic, cook 1 minute more. Add onions to bread.
- To pan add another 1 teaspoon oil. Cook apples, until soft but still crunchy – add sage or thyme, stir and add to bread. Pour broth over bread mixture and stir. You want all the bread to be covered in broth.
- If stuffing a bird you can do so now, if not, put the pan of stuffing into a 450 degree oven uncovered for about 30-45 minutes, adding 1 teaspoon oil or pan drippings from a chicken or turkey (even better) to the stuffing halfway through.
me neither. it must taste rustic and delicious! yum
I would have never thought of using pumpernickel bread for stuffing but it goes really well with all the ingredients. Sounds so delish!
So creative!!
i usually stuff with rice and vegetables..this is a wonderful alternative, though it seems funny to me to stuff meat with more meat.
A wonder pot! I want one so badly.
This recipe looks incredible-and I usually do not like stuffing as a rule.
Yes, it is called a wonder pot or sear peleh in Hebrew. It is shaped like a bundt pan with a metal thick cover on top and a cone like insert on the bottom. It was created by kibbutznikim who did not have an oven to bake cakes or kugels in. The flame from the gas stove enters the cone like insert and bakes the cake. My mom used it on Pesach as she did not kasher her oven for Pesach. No changes in recipes are necesary. Hope this helps….Cindy
Have you ever hears of a baking pan that is used in Israel called a pot wonder. It looks wonderful
