CORNBREAD, WILD MUSHROOM, AND PECAN STUFFING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spread pecans on a baking sheet. Place in oven to toast until fragrant, about 6 minutes. Set aside.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet. Cut cornbread into 2-inch-thick slices. Place, cut side down, on a 17-by-12-inch baking sheet. Brush tops with melted butter. Toast cornbread until golden brown, 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• Heat remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet on medium high. Add shallots and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper; cook until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add white wine; continue cooking until absorbed, about 1 minute. Add cream. Cook 30 seconds; remove pan from heat.
• Crumble cornbread into a large bowl. Add mushroom mixture and toasted pecans; toss.

EMERIL'S WILD-MUSHROOM STUFFING

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss bread with milk; set aside. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium, until crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Add onion, celery, and garlic; cook until softened, 5 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook until they have released their liquid, about 4 minutes. Add Marsala; cook until evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
• Squeeze excess milk from bread; return bread to bowl. Add mushroom mixture, eggs, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; mix well. Use immediately, or refrigerate, up to 1 day.

VEGAN STUFFING WITH MUSHROOMS AND LEEKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Divide bread between two rimmed baking sheets and spread in a single layer. Bake, stirring a few times, until crisp and dried all the way through, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Heat 5 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add mushrooms, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer to bowl with toasted bread. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same skillet. Add leeks, celery, and thyme sprigs; cook until vegetables are softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic, chopped thyme, and red-pepper flakes; cook 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup broth and cook, scraping up browned bits from bottom, until evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Discard thyme sprigs. Transfer to bowl with bread; let cool 5 minutes. Meanwhile, brush a 2- to 2 1/2-quart baking dish with oil.
• Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees. Add parsley to bowl with bread; toss to combine. Slowly drizzle with remaining 1 1/2 cups broth, stirring to moisten. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Loosely cover with parchment-lined foil. Bake 20 minutes. Uncover; continue baking until golden on top, 25 minutes more. Serve, sprinkled with more parsley if desired.

STUFFING WITH MUSHROOMS, LEEKS AND BACON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 250 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Trim the crusts from the white bread and cut into 1-inch cubes; if using corn bread, coarsely crumble it. Spread the bread pieces out on one or two large baking sheets. Toast in the oven, tossing occasionally, until very dry, about 30 minutes for white bread, 1 hour for corn bread. Transfer to a large bowl to cool. Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon strips until crisp. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain, leaving the fat in the pan. Add the leeks to the bacon fat and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, until mushrooms are tender and most of their juices have evaporated, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the sage and cook 1 minute. Add the wine and cook until it evaporates, about 2 minutes.
• Spoon the mushroom mixture over the dried bread. Stir in stock. If using white bread, stir in the cider. Add parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. The mixture should be moist and very soft. If you like your stuffing extremely moist, add enough stock to make it seem slightly soggy but not wet. (Think pudding.) Crumble bacon and stir it in.
• Transfer the bread mixture to the prepared baking pan. Drizzle 3 tablespoons melted butter over the stuffing. Bake until golden, 35 to 45 minutes.

WILD MUSHROOM AND WILD LEEK FARFEL KUGEL

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, stir together the eggs and farfel. Continue to stir until farfel has absorbed the eggs and gets dry and toasty.
• In another skillet, heat butter or oil over medium heat and stir in minced onion. Cook until golden, then add leeks and continue cooking for 15 minutes. In a seperate pan on high heat cook mushrooms for about 4 minutes. Combine leeks, onions and mushrooms.
• Add farfel and half of the stock to the leek/onion/mushroom mixture, continuing to stir. Turn heat to low and add 1 more cup of stock. Cook 4 minutes and add last cup of stock. When all the liquid has been absorbed, serve.
