Ingredients

– 1 cup unsalted butter

– 2 cups celery, diced
– 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
– 2 teaspoons dried sage
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Equipment Needed
– Large mixing bowl
– Skillet
– Baking dish (9×13 inches works best)
– Wooden spoon
– Measuring cups and spoons
– Oven
Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the diced onions and celery. Sauté until the vegetables soften and turn translucent, which usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes. The smell wafting from your stove will let you know you’re on the right track! Once they are cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Now, add in the bread cubes and gently toss everything together. The butter and aromatics will coat the bread perfectly, creating a delicious base for our stuffing. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
