Description

This Stuffing Ring is a versatile side dish that bridges the gap between traditional stuffing and a savory quick bread. Infused with aromatic herbs like thyme, oregano, and savory, it offers a robust flavor profile that complements grilled or roasted meats beautifully. The combination of toasted bread cubes, sweet raisins, and crunchy walnuts provides a delightful texture contrast in every bite. Ideal for holiday gatherings or cozy weeknight dinners, this ring can be served warm or reheated later, making it a practical choice for busy cooks.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch ring mold or bundt pan thoroughly.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and celery, stirring occasionally, and cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir the toasted bread cubes, 1/2 cup of the chopped walnuts, and the raisins into the skillet with the onions and celery. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, thyme, oregano, and savory.
  5. In a separate small bowl, beat the milk, egg, and remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil until combined.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold the bread mixture (onions, celery, walnuts, raisins) into the batter gently until evenly distributed.
  8. Spoon the batter into the prepared ring mold. Sprinkle the remaining chopped walnuts over the top.
  9. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
