If you have n’t resolve on a medical dressing recipe for your Thanksgiving dinner – this is what I ’m making this Thursday – it is a spot dissimilar from the norm and downright tasty ! Fresh herbs make all the deviation and sage is the featured herb for Thanksgiving dinner across the country ! However if you do not have admittance to them , dried herbaceous plant can be used in place of brisk .
The musky , slighty camphorous flavor of salvia ( Salvia officinalis ) is sometimes a flake too resinous , bitter or nipping for some palates . I love its robustness with rich , fat or cherubic saucer – it works well with ample foods – lending an earthiness , and pleasant flavor combinations . Besides , its antioxidant properties will help digest the big banquet .
I recently had a discussion with some Southern cooks – they call itstuffingdown South – my class always called itdressing . I was inform that it is satiate when you put it in the bird and it is dressing when cooked in a beauty and served aboard . Makes sense … it is good whatever you call it !
Cornbread Dressing with Sage and Pecans
I do n’t really measure when I make this recipe – I just sort of amalgamate it all together – so it depart a second . I do make a pan of cornbread from lettuce to use and use about one-half of it – then we have leftover cornbread to accompany the meal or eat the next twenty-four hours . Sometimes , I apply half olive vegetable oil and one-half butter to saute the veggies ; often I add some sweet pepper plant , smoke pimento , umami mushroom powder or tamari soya sauce for added flavor . I also like to add a good handful of coarse chopped dried cherries or cranberries . The half - and - half can be eliminated – use more stock or blank wine .
