Servings
6Serving size
about 1 1/2 cupsThis recipe can easily be multiplied by 2 but requires a larger pan and may need to bake a little longer. This recipe makes great leftovers.
Ingredients
| 1 ounce Mushrooms, shiitake, dried (or dried porcini or portabello) |
| 1/2 cup Water (boiling) |
| 4 ounces Breakfast Sausage Links (finely diced) |
| 1 medium White onions (finely diced) |
| 4 Medium stalk Celery, raw (diced) |
| 6 Tbsp., chopped Pecans |
| 6 slices Whole wheat bread (or gluten-free whole grain bread) |
| 3 Tbsp. Dried or rubbed sage |
| 1/2 cup chopped Fresh parsley (chopped) |
| 1/4 tsp. Salt |
| 1 to taste Black pepper |
| 1 large Egg(s) |
| 2 Tbsp 2% milk |
Instructions
Place the mushrooms in a small bowl and pour the boiling water over the top. Stir and let stand.
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Place the diced sausage in a large skillet over medium high heat.
Cook for about 3 minutes. Stir frequently.
Add the onions and celery and cook for about 5 minutes, until the onions begin to turn translucent.
Add the mushrooms and the liquid they steeped in and cook until the mushrooms are soft and there's very little liquid. Stir frequently.
Remove from the heat.
Cut the bread into 1/2 inch squares and add to the pan with the sage, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss the ingredients together.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg and milk together until well blended. Add the mixture to the pan with the stuffing and toss to coat well.
Press the mixture into a 9 inch oblong Pyrex dish. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 - 40 minutes (depending on how crispy you like your stuffing).

Recipe Notes
This dressing was tested with Canyon Bakehouse Gluten Free Seven Grain bread. For those of you having to eat gluten free, this has become a favorite for making breadcrumbs and it works great for this holiday stuffing. There is a great balance with the pork and sage flavors and the richness of the dried mushrooms with broth that brings a lot of rich umami flavor to the stuffing.
