Ingredients
- 3 divided teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 ounces thinly sliced ribbons prosciutto
- 2 cups chopped onion
- 2 cups cubed fennel bulb
- 1/4 cup crushed shallot
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 8 cups stale baguette, cubed 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 ripe, firm pears, diced
- 1/3 cup diced flat-leaf parsley
- 1/3 cup diced toasted hazelnuts
- 1 14-ounce can reduced-sodium or homemade chicken broth
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium heat. Toss in the prosciutto; cook while stirring, for 5 minutes until prosciutto becomes crisp. Remove to a paper towel to drain.
- Clean pan. Heat 2 teaspoons oil on medium-high heat. Stir in onion, fennel and shallots. Cook about 6 to 8 minutes until the vegetables become soft and lightly browned. Stir in sage, rosemary and thyme. Heat for 1 minute. Pour softened vegetables and herbs into a large bowl.
- Gently mix in bread, pears, parsley, prosciutto and hazelnuts. Stir in the broth until combined.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Turn the stuffing into the baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
- Cook for 40 minutes in preheated oven. Remove foil and continue baking until the top becomes crispy about 30 minutes.
Notes
- If you don't have stale bread ready to use, spread the baguette cubes on a baking sheet and toast at 250°F until crisped and dry, about 15 minutes.
