Serves 6
- 1 pound butternut squash, cubed
- 1 pound brussel sprouts, halved
- 1 medium gala apple, cut into a 1/2 inch dice
- 2 shallots, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided into 2 tbsp and 1 tbsp
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 10 slices bread of choice: crusty sourdough, dry cornbread, whole grain, or, if you are gluten free, millet bread from Food For Life will work nicely. Prior to preparing the recipe, leave bread out for a day to become slightly dry, then cut into cubes.
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth (plus extra as needed)
- 2 teaspoons Gryffon Ridge Rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Gryffon Ridge Thyme
- 1 teaspoon Gryffon Ridge Sage Leaf
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/3 cup pecans or walnuts
- Maine Sea salt and Gryffon Ridge Black Pepper to taste
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Toss the squash, brussel sprouts, apples, and shallots in 2 tbsp oil and season well with salt and pepper. Roast till vegetables are very tender (I actually like my sprouts a bit singed) and remove from oven. Reduce oven heat to 350.
- Heat other tbsp oil in a large pot. Sautee the onion and celery till translucent (about 5-8 min). Add the bread cubes and allow them to get golden brown with the veggies in the oil. Add a dash of salt and pepper.
- Add the roasted vegetables, vegetable broth, cranberries, pecans, and seasonings. Stir the mix till the broth has almost entirely absorbed in the toasted bread. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes. Serve hot and delicious. Recipe from Food52 and picture via Food52 site.
