Orange Cranberry Stuffing & Cranberry Muffins
Recipe By: Sharon Wilson
SHARON WILSON'S NOTES: _This recipe combines the best of both worlds: orange cranberry muffins
for breakfast, then the leftovers can be made into a simple and quick
stuffing which can be served with chicken or turkey.
Ingredients You'll Need
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil,
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
2 ribs celery, with greens, from the heart of the stalk, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 bay leaf, fresh or dried
Salt and pepper
2 cranberry orange muffins, recipe follows
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 cup chicken stock
Directions
Stuffing: In a medium frying pan over moderate heat add oil and
butter. When butter melts into oil, add celery, onion, bay. Season
with salt and pepper. Split muffins down the center and crumble into
pan to combine with the vegetables. Add thyme and chicken stock.
Cook stuffing 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let stand in warm
pan. To serve, mound cranberry orange stuffing onto each dinner plate
using an ice cream scoop. Rest chicken or turkey slices on top of the
stuffing and cover with gravy. Garnish with chopped parsley
