Chestnut, sausage, and marsala stuffing

There is a moment, usually on Boxing Day, when I stand and eat a doorstopsandwich. It is often the best sandwich of the year. Made with white bread,layers of thinly sliced, generously salted roast turkey, crisp bacon, and thinly

sliced stuffing. Coarse-textured and thoroughly seasoned stuffing is essentialto what I regard as one of the glories of Christmas.

Peel and cut up the onions just short of finely chopped (this is a coarse-textured stuffing, but you dont want the pieces so big that the mixture fallsapart). Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the onions, and let them softenand color lightly, stirring from time to time. While they are cooking, stripthe leaves from the thyme and stir them in. Remove the needles from therosemary twig and chop them finely. Stir them into the onions.

Preheat the oven to F (C). When the onions are soft enoughto crush between finger and thumb, add the sausage meat, breadcrumbs,chestnuts, and the Madeira or marsala. Season generously with salt andblack pepper. Shape the stuffing into balls slightly larger than a golf ball andset them in a buttered or foil-lined baking dish (they can remain here for aday or so, refrigerated, until you need them). Bake for about thirty minutes,until sizzling.

Some of the recipes in this book include raw eggs. When eggs are consumed raw,

there is always the risk that baeria, which is killed by proper cooking, may be

present. For this reason, always buy certified salmonella-free eggs from a reliable

grocer, storing them in the refrigerator until they are served. Because of the health

risks associated with the consumption of baeria that can be present in raw

eggs, they should not be consumed by infants, small children, pregnant women,

the elderly, or any persons who may be immunocompromised. The author and

publisher expressly disclaim responsibility for any adverse effes that may result

from the use or application of the recipes and information contained in this book.
