Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups cubed cornbread (stale)
- 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh sage
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh thyme
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (toasted)
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish.
- If using homemade cornbread, cube it into bite-sized pieces and toast in the oven for about 10 minutes until slightly crisp.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt two tablespoons of butter and sauté the onions and celery until softened, about five minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine toasted cornbread cubes with sautéed vegetables, herbs, nuts, and dried fruit. Gradually add vegetable broth until moistened but not soggy.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes; remove foil during the last ten minutes to achieve a golden top.
