Category: Nuts, Poultry

 Ingredients List

  • 1 lb Fresh chestnuts
  • 2 c Chicken stock
  • 1/2 lb Breakfast-style or sweet
  • -Italian sausage
  • 8 tb Butter
  • 3 Stalks celery, finely
  • -chopped

 Directions

Peel the chestnuts and cut each into quarters. Gently simmer the chestnuts
in the stock in a saucepan over medium heat for 10 minutes, or until
tender.

Crumble the sausage and brown it in a frying pan over medium heat. Transfer
the sausage to a colander to drain off the fat.

Melt the butter in the sausage pan. Cook the celery over low heat for 5
minutes, or until tender, adding the ham after 3 minutes. Stir in the bread
cubes, cooked sausage, cooked chestnuts, half of the stock, and salt and
pepper to taste. Add stock as necessary; the stuffing should be moist but
not soggy.

Spoon the stuffing into a buttered baking dish; cover with foil and bake in
a 350F oven for 15 minutes, or until thoroughly heated. Alternatively,
spoon the stuffing into the cavity of a capon or turkey.
