INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

  • The night before, slice or tear the bread, including the crusts, into small pieces. Place in a food processor fitted with the metal blade and process to form coarse crumbs. (You should have about 12 cups.) Spread out the crumbs on large baking sheets or newspapers to dry overnight.
  • Preheat an oven to 375°F. Butter a 3-qt baking dish. In a large sauté pan or frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 2 - 3 minutes. Add the ham, celery, bell pepper and sage. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes. Set aside.
  • Place the bread crumbs in a large bowl. While rapidly tossing and stirring the crumbs, gradually add the stock; the crumbs should be evenly moistened. Add the sautéed vegetables, the chestnuts, parsley and salt and pepper to taste. (Remember the stock may have been seasoned and ham is salty.) Mix and toss until well blended.
  • Spoon loosely into the prepared baking dish. Place in the oven and bake until golden on top, 40 - 50 minutes.
