This is a wonderful dressing and was an Ask Dr. Gourmet request. The combination of the sweet veggies, the umami flavor of the mushrooms and the herbs make for a great side dish.

Cornbread Dressing recipe from Dr. Gourmet

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp. olive oil
  • 1 medium white onion (finely diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 3 ribs celery (diced)
  • 8 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
  • 4 regular or gluten-free cornbread muffins (crumbled)
  • 3 ounces whole wheat bread or gluten-free whole grain bread (cut into small dice)
  • 1 Tbsp fresh sage
  • 1/2 cup flat leaf parsley (chopped)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 Tbsp 2% milk

Preheat oven to 325°F.

Add 1 teaspoon of the olive oil to a large skillet and place over medium heat.

Add the onion and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes stirring frequently.

Add the celery and cook for another 5 minutes.

Remove to a mixing bowl and spray the pan lightly with oil again.

Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the pan and then the sliced mushrooms.

Cook until they are soft and there's very little liquid. Stir frequently.

Add the mushrooms to the mixing bowl.

Add the crumbled cornbread and whole wheat bread with the sage, parsley, salt and pepper.

Fold the ingredients together.

In a separate small bowl whisk the egg and milk together until well blended.

Add the egg mixture to the large mixing bowl with the stuffing and fold together to coat well.

Press the mixture into a 9 inch oblong Pyrex dish.

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 - 40 minutes (depending on how crispy you like your dressing).
