Grandma's Thanksgiving Stuffing

Grandma's Thanksgiving Stuffing

Presented by Nonna Recipes Difficulty: Easy Preparation Time: 2 hours 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 45-60 minutes Total Time: 3 hours | Servings: 15 servings Calories: Approximately 180 per serving Ingredients: 1/2 cup Butter 16 cups Dry Bread Cubes (3 large loaves for homemade) 2 cups Onion (diced into 1/2") 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper 1/2 tsp Thyme (fresh or dried) 1/2 tsp Sage (fresh or dried) 3 tsp Poultry Seasoning 2 cups Celery (diced into 1/2") 1 1/2-3 cups Chicken Broth 1 Tablespoon Parsley (fresh for garnish) 1 tsp Salt 2 large Eggs Instructions Preheat your oven to 250°F. Cut the bread into cubes, about 1/2" to 3/4". Spread them out on a baking sheet and let them dry in the oven for about an hour, tossing occasionally. Once done, take them out and set aside to cool while preparing the other ingredients. If you make the breadcrumbs in advance, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Now, raise the oven temperature to 350°F. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Toss in the onion and celery, cooking until they become tender and translucent, which should take about 8 minutes. Mix in the poultry seasoning, thyme, sage, and salt along with 1½ cups of chicken broth. Remove from heat and whisk the eggs in a bowl, stirring them into the onion mixture.  In a large bowl, combine your dried bread cubes and pour the chicken broth mixture over them. Carefully fold everything together, ensuring the stuffing is moist but not swimming in liquid. If it's too dry, add a bit of leftover chicken broth. Coat a 9"x13" baking dish with nonstick spray and spread your stuffing evenly into it. Bake for 45-60 minutes, checking and stirring every 15-20 minutes until it's beautifully golden on top. When it’s ready, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy this family favorite!

Spanish Rice

Spanish Rice

Presented by Delicix Ingredients : 1 cup long grain white rice 2 Tbsp olive oil 1 onion 1 red bell pepper 1 green bell pepper 3 garlic cloves 1 tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp chilli powder 1 cup chopped tomatoes canned or fresh 3 cups lobster stock Plain water may be used as a replacement Spanish rice made with lobster stock Instructions Mince garlic and dice the onion, bell pepper and tomato in preparation for the dish. In a deep-sided saute pan begin with the olive oil over medium heat. Add the long grain rice and lightly brown until the grains are golden and glossy. Stir often. This should take 2 or three minutes, but watch it. Once the rice is toasted in the pan, add the minced garlic, diced onion, red and green bell pepper and saute briefly to "sweat" the vegetables. Again, stir often. Then add the smoked paprika and chili powder, along with the chopped tomato pulp. Lastly, pour in the 3 cups of homemade lobster stock. Of course plain water is a perfectly acceptable option, as is low-sodium chicken stock, but the flavour of the finished dish will differ. Give the contents a good stir to combine the ingredients. Let the mixture come up to a gentle boil for two or three minutes. Cover the pan and immediately reduce the heat to very low, letting the rice gently cook and steam for an additional 15 to 20 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this process

Cut butter and spread it in the mold and then add flour and spread it. - To obtain a spongy and rich dough, we beat each ingredient we add. First all the liquid and then the solid. We put: 3 eggs, and beat, 1 cup of milk, and beat, 1/2 cup of oil, and beat, 1 cup of sugar, and beat, 1 tablespoon of vanilla essence, 2 cups of leavening flour together with the tablespoon of baking powder, and beat. Beat 2 minutes until it is a homogeneous mixture. Pour into the mold. - Bake in the oven for approximately 50 to 60 minutes. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN before 50 minutes, otherwise the dough will go down. How do you know when it is ready? When the top is not so yellowish or white but rather toasted. Remove the cake, sprinkle with sugar and leave it for a while with the oven off to melt a little.

Original Baguette Bread

Original Baguette Bread

Presented by Mama's Cooking Recipes Ingredients 500 g of common wheat flour 330 ml of water 5 g dry baker's yeast or 15 g fresh yeast 10g of salt Instructions Start by mixing the water with the yeast in a bowl. I recommend that the water be lukewarm, so the yeast will dissolve sooner and better. Once this is done, mix the flour with the salt and add it to the water. You must knead it well for a few minutes. To know when it is is when the dough is smooth and does not stick to the hands easily. At first something may stick to you but you'll see how later it won't. After the first kneading you must cover the dough with film and put it in the fridge for an hour. During this time the dough will rest and will be ready to work with. After resting, cut four equal balls and form the elongated bars. Put them on a baking tray separated from each other and make two superficial cuts in each one. Before baking let them ferment for about 30 minutes or so. When they have grown they will have the definitive baguette shape. If they are too fat, stretch the dough more with a little flour. Finally, put them in the preheated oven at 180ºC for 15 minutes and you will have them ready. A piece of advice is that before putting them in, spray a little water on top so that it does not make the crust so quickly and you get that bakery result. If you don't have a spray bottle, you can also wet your fingertips and gently brush them over the bread before baking.
