'98 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 pound sliced bacon -- cut in 1/2" pieces 6 medium apples (such as firm, tart Granny Smith) peeled,diced 4 medium onions -- chopped coarse 4 stalks celery -- chopped coarse 1/2 cup dry white wine 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves -- minced 2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves 1 1/4 pounds Pepperidge Farm white bread, dried -- cut in 1/2" cubes Or French, country bread (about 12 cups) 1 3/4 cups turkey or chicken stock Or low sodium canned chicken broth 2 eggs -- beaten 1/2 cup fresh parsley salt and ground black pepper Trim the bread or not, as you prefer, before cutting it into 1/2-inch cubes. Spread the cubes in a single layer over several baking sheets and dry at room temperature for 2 to 3 days, or in a 225-degree oven for 25 to 40 minutes. The dry and wet elements of the recipe can be made separately up to 24 hours ahead of time, but do not combine them until the last minute. Method: Fry bacon in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until crisp and brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer bacon with slotted spoon to paper towel lined plate; pour off all but 3 tablespoons fat from pan. Add apples, onions and celery; sauté until softened, 14 to 15 minutes. Add wine, thyme and sage; simmer until wine is almost evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Mix with reserved bacon and remaining ingredients, including the salt and ground black pepper to taste, in large,microwave-safe bowl. Makes about 12 cups. Variation: Cornbread Stuffing With Sausage and Pecans Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat in 12-inch skillet, fry 1 pound crumbled sweet sausage until meat loses its raw color, 5 to 7 minutes; remove with slotted spoon to small bowl. If necessary, add enough butter to rendered sausage fat to equal 3 tablespoons. Follow Master Recipe for Bacon and Apple Stuffing, substituting sausage fat for bacon fat, bourbon for wine, cubed cornbread for white bread, and omitting bacon and apples. Continue with Master Recipe, mixing reserved sausage and one cup chopped pecans with remaining ingredients. The following recipes appear courtesy of ©Cooks Illustrated magazine.

* Exported from MasterCook * Mediterranean Chicken, Curry and Ginger Ale Recipe By : The Hanneman's 1996 Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :2:15 Categories : Poultry Volume 3, Dec. '98 Chicken Main Dishes Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard 1 teaspoon peanut oil 2 tablespoons honey 1/4 cup fresh orange juice 1/2 cup ginger ale salt and pepper 1/4 teaspoon grated orange peel 8 skinless chicken thighs 2 cups hot cooked rice 2 cups broccoli florets -- steamed 1 cup sliced carrots -- steamed Arrange chicken pieces "skin side up" in an oven-proof pan that crowds chicken without overlap or touching -- "a close fit". Make a paste of the curry powder, mustard, and rich tasting peanut oil. Smear it on the chicken. Preheat the oven to 450F (Hot). Put chicken in the oven. Turn off the oven and let chicken sear-cook for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, mix sauce in a pyrex measure or bowl with a spout. Combine the other ingredients and stir well but not so much that you lose carbonation. Set the oven to 325F (slow). Pour the sauce around the chicken pieces being careful not to wash away the curry paste. Place a sheet of foil loosely over the chicken (like a splatter screen that allows steam to escape). Bake for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Remove the foil for last 30 minutes. The chicken will be falling off the bones. Sprinkle with additional curry powder if desired. Chicken only: 237 cals, 7g fat. with menu - basmati, vegetable medley : 402 cals, 8g fat. Posted on FareShare by Pat Hanneman <kitpath@earthlink.net 12/98 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOTES : We used to rub curry and mustard into the skin and pour other ingredients in the pan. In this skinless version, a good approximation of original flavors is to make a paste of curry and mustard with peanut oil and smear it on, then sear it in a hot oven.
