Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a baking dish.
  2. Chop the onion, celery, squash, green apple and green onions.
  3. Melt the butter in a saucepan and saute all of the above for 5 minutes until they're slightly wilted and you can smell the ingredients' aroma. Set the mixture aside to cool (see notes).
  4. Roughly tear your bread into pieces and toss with the salt, pepper, and herbs.
  5. Beat the eggs and add them to the bread mixture, stirring to mix well.
  6. Add the dates, pine nuts and broth and mix.
  7. Add the cooled mixture of fruit and vegetables and stir just to mix.
  8. Put everything in your greased baking dish and cook the stuffing uncovered in the oven for 30 minutes.

Notes

  • Bread -  It's important that the bread be stale, or it will become mushy during cooking. I buy my bread a day or so before making the stuffing, tear it into pieces, and leave it out on the counter to dry. Alternatively, you can bake the bread in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes. 
  • Herbs -  use fresh herbs for the best result, as they have a more delicate flavor and vibrant color than dried herbs.
  • Broth - I use chicken broth for my recipe, but you can use vegetable broth, which makes this a great vegetarian side. 
  • The vegetables - Chop them into small, even pieces so they cook quickly, and cool them completely before adding them to the stuffing so the texture is perfect.
