Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon sage, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 cups cubed bread, preferably stale
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a large baking dish and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Step 3
Stir in the chicken or vegetable broth, raisins, parsley, thyme, sage, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer on low heat for 5 minutes to allow the raisins to plump up and the flavors to meld.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread with the broth mixture, stirring gently to evenly coat the bread. Allow the bread to absorb the liquid for about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Add the beaten egg to the bread mixture and gently fold it in until uniformly combined.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy Syd's Very Own Raisin Dressing as a flavorful side dish or stuffing!
