Apricot and Hazelnut Stuffing
none
Description
Not your usual stuffing, but delicious. It is worth a try.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dried apricots
- 2 Tbs chopped onion
- 1 stick celery, chopped
- 1 1/2 Tbs butter or cooking oil
- 1-2 Tbs toasted hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh white bread crumbs
- 1/2 tsp grated lemon rind
Methods/steps
- Place apricots in a bowl and cover in boiling water. Soak.
- Heat butter in a pan. Fry onion and celery gently until soft but not brown.
- Drain apricots, reserving the liquid. Chop.
- Remove pan from heat. Add breadcrumbs, hazelnuts, chopped apricots and lemon rind. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Mix well. Allow to cool before filling cavities in the bird.
Additional Tips
The apricots should release enough liquid to keep the stuffing together. If the mixture appears to be dry, add some of the liquid reserved.
This recipe would be enough for a 4-5 lb chicken.Reviews
