Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 tablespoons fresh sage leaves

OR 1 tablespoon dried

2 tablespoons canola oil

1/2 pound onions -- finely chopped

4 cups fine fresh bread crumbs

1 medium Granny Smith apple

peeled and cored and finely diced

1/2 lemon -- Juice of

1 teaspoon grated lemon rind

2 eggs -- beaten

salt and freshly ground pepper

 

8 to 10 servings

 

Using an infusion of sage rather than the strong-flavored leaves themselves

gives this stuffing that wonderful herbal flavor without overpowering it.

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

 

Combine the sage leaves with 1 cup of boiling water. Steep for at least 15

minutes, then strain. Discard the sage and reserve the water. Heat the

oil in a large skillet. Add the onions and saute over medium heat,

stirring frequently until they are lightly browned. In a mixing bowl,

combine the onions with the bread crumbs and the remaining

ingredients. Sprinkle in the sage stock until the ingredients are evenly

moistened. Transfer to an oiled, shallow 1 1/2 quart casserole dish (a

round glass one works well). Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the

outside is golden brown and crusty.
