Thread Name: BS: Cornbread Dressing
Subject: RE: BS: Cornbread Dressing
I make a vegetarian "stuffing" or "dressing" where the main ingredient is green tomatoes...usually the garden has had frost by thanksgiving and there are always a few left by thanksgiving, or if the frost is early I can pick them and wrap in paper until the time is right.
I bake it in pans or casserole dishes, not in a bird.
I put in black olives, fresh sage, celery, water chestnuts or jicama for crunchiness, celery, and sometimes chestnuts...the other kind of chestnuts. the ones that grow on trees.
plus I add tamari as i saute the veggie parts then i add to dry bread crumbs ... i either toast the bread (whole wheat) or set it out in the air to dry before cutting and breaking the bread into pieces.
