COOL WEEKEND - HOLIDAY STUFFING

A cool breeze from the north west dropped in last night and plunged today's temp to the mid 70's. At least it is calm in the ocean and that water temp should remain at 77 degrees. It is quite chilly for Hollywood residents but just great for our northern visitors.

If you are planning on a turkey dinner in the near future here is a perfect recipe for stuffing.


Recipe – Holiday Stuffing

Sweet Italian sausage, 4 into ¼” pieces
Mushrooms – 6 oz. Sliced
Walnuts, chopped - 1/2 cup

Onion – 1 medium chopped
Celery – 2 stalks chopped
Apple – 1 chopped
Parsley - 2 Tblspns , chopped
Dry bread, ½” cubes - 1 cup
Raisons - 2 oz.
Butter 1 TBL
Chili Stuff Chili Mix – 1 TBL
White Pepper – ground 1 tspn
Olive oil
Chicken Broth 4 oz

In a big deep pan at medium heat. Pour in a couple glugs of olive oil. Squeeze the sausage from their skins into the pan and break into ¼ inch pieces.
Add the onion and celery. Stir everything around and add the butter.
After a couple of minutes add the parsley and mushrooms and chili powder and stir again.
Remove from heat and add the chopped walnuts, apple and dried bread cubes.
Mix everything and season with the white pepper to taste.

If you are filling a bird do so now. If you are cooking on stove-top add your chicken broth and cook covered until the apples soften. Stir every once in a while so nothing sticks to the pan.
