Instructions
How to Make It
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange sourdough bread cubes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes. Leave aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 Tablespoons olive oil and add mushrooms, add a 1/4 teaspoon of salt & pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until the juice from the mushrooms evaporates. Add 1 Tablespoon sherry vinegar, scraping pan to loosen browned bits and add the 1/2 cup of Riesling wine and keep scraping the pan. Add this mushroom mixture to a large bowl.
- Saute: Return skillet to medium heat and add 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil. Add onion, celery, thyme, oregano, and garlic. Sprinkle a 1/4 teaspoon of salt & pepper; sauté 5 minutes. Add the chopped sage and stir, and add 2 Tablespoons of wine; cook until the liquid evaporates.
- Combine: Remove pan from heat; stir in parsley. Add onion-herb mixture to the large bowl with the mushroom. Then, add the bread to the mixture; toss to combine.
- Toss: Combine chicken stock, 2 Tablespoons olive oil and eggs in a bowl, stir. Pour half of the stock mixture over bread mixture and toss; add the rest of the stock mixture and toss again. Add a 1/4 teaspoon of salt & pepper and toss again.
- Spoon mushroom-bread mixture into a 2-quart ceramic baking dish coated with olive oil.
- Let stand 10 minutes or until liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Drizzle more olive oil on top before putting in the oven.
- Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes.
Notes
Vegetarian option:
- Use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock.
Vegan option:
- Egg Replacement: Use flaxseeds for binding. For each “egg” combine 1 Tablespoon of ground flaxseeds with 3 Tablespoons of water to make a thick and gelatinous egg replacement. Another substitution is to use canned pumpkin puree
- Bread Replacement: Check the ingredients because some stores have vegan whole wheat bread - no milk added.
Meat option:
- Add dried cured Spanish Chorizo in the mix before putting it in the oven.
