A unique and flavorful stuffing recipe featuring tangy sourdough bread, sweet dates, and crunchy almonds—perfect for holidays or cozy family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf sourdough bread, cut into cubes and slightly stale
  • 1 cup dates, pitted and chopped
  • 1 cup almonds, toasted and roughly chopped
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or olive oil for dairy-free)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped into small pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth, preferably low-sodium
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh sage, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the sourdough bread into 1-inch cubes and let it sit out for a few hours to dry out, or toast them in the oven for 10 minutes.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the melted butter. Sauté the onions, garlic, and celery until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Toast the almonds in a dry skillet until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Let them cool before roughly chopping.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough cubes, sautéed vegetables, chopped dates, toasted almonds, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
  6. Pour the beaten eggs and chicken or vegetable broth over the mixture. Stir gently until the bread is evenly moistened but not overly wet.
  7. Grease a baking dish and spread the stuffing mixture evenly.
  8. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
  9. Let the stuffing cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

[‘Dry or lightly toast the sourdough bread for better texture.’, ‘Keep an eye on the almonds while toasting to avoid burning.’, ‘Taste the mixture before baking and adjust seasoning as needed.’, ‘Use fresh herbs for enhanced flavor.’, ‘Remove foil during the last 15 minutes of baking for a crispy top layer.’]
