Sausage and Sweet Bread Stuffing.
Last week I shared a recipe for our BUTTER ROASTED CORNISH HENS. You might have noticed they were overflowing with a gorgeous looking stuffing and that I didn’t share the recipe for said stuffing. I know this because I received emails. Lots and lots (yes that’s a technical term) of emails asking me to share the recipe. The wait is over and just in the nick of Thanksgiving.
This sausage and sweet bread stuffing literally made me change the way I think about stuffing. I first have to tell you how much I REALLY love stuffing. It’s one of my favorite things about Thanksgiving. Yes, the stuffing. Half of my plate is typically stuffing. I’m not ashamed. I’m a proud stuffing lover. One that wears yoga pants but we’re not going to be Judgy McJudgy pants it’s Thanksgiving people.
This recipe came about after my friends at King’s Hawaiian (yes those rock star roll and bread makers) asked me to come up with a holiday recipe using their sweet rolls and/or bread. What did I gravitate to? You guessed it … STUFFING! I honestly don’t know why it’s taken me this many years to consider swapping out my tired old white bread and use sweet bread.
Not just any sweet bread, King Hawaiian’s sweet bread. You’re going to thank me for this one. It’s sweet and savory with the benefit of crunch (cashews) and character (dried apricots). Now all you need to decide is whether you’ll stuff your bird with it or bake it in a dish?
