Simple and basic dressing, derived from a recipe in the Joy of Cooking. It can be stuffed into a turkey; we cook it separately - any time of the year! Try with different kinds of bread.
1/2 cup raisins
7 cups soft bread crumbs (1/2 sourdough, 1/2 dark rye)
1/4 cup butter
1 yellow onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped1 clove garlic, chopped
2 tart apples, chopped
8 oz. sliced mushrooms
1 1/2 cups warm stock (eliminate this if stuffing a bird)
1/4 cup copped parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
ground black pepper
Boil the raisins in water for 5 minutes, then drain. Put the bread crumbs in a large baking dish. Add the raisins to the bread crumbs. Melt butter in a sauce pan, add the onion, garlic, celery, mushrooms, and thyme. Saute for 3-5 minutes. Add these, plus the remaining ingredients to the bread crumbs. Cover and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.
