2 c Celery; diced 1/2 in.
1 c Celery root; diced 1/2 in.
3/4 c Minced red onions
2 tb Fresh thyme leaves
1 tb Celery seed; crushed
Salt & pepper; to taste
9 oz Sweet butter
12 oz Good chicken stock
2 1/2 lb Cornbread crumbled
In a large saute pan, saute all the ingredients (except the chicken
stock and crumbled cornbread) in butter slowly until the onions are
transparent and the celery root is softened but still al dente.
Crumble the cornbread into a large bowl. Spoon hot vegetables over it.
In the same large saute pan, bring chicken stock to a boil. Then,
slowly pour the stock into the cornbread and vegetable mixture while
stirring with a large spoon until incorporated.
Adjust seasoning and let cool if the dressing is to be used as
stuffing in a bird. If so, carefully season the cavity. If not,
heavily butter a casserole dish, fill with mixture and pat top with
butter.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes
