Equipment

  • oven
  • Skillet
  • Casserole dish

Ingredients
  

  • 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped cipollini onions
  • 3 cups chopped & stemmed mushrooms mix of shiitakes & creminis
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • ¼ cup chopped sage plus 8 leaves for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons minced rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 5 cups cubed crusty ciabatta + nine-grain bread
  • 3 lacinato kale leaves coarsely chopped or torn
  • 2 cups vegetable broth plus more for reheating
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8x12 or 9x13 casserole dish.
  • In a very large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, mushrooms, ½ teaspoon salt, and several grinds of fresh pepper, and let the mushrooms cook until they begin to soften, 5 to 8 minutes, stirring only occasionally.
  • Add the garlic, celery, sage, and rosemary, and cook until everything is soft and the mushrooms are golden brown, 8-10 minutes.
  • Add the balsamic vinegar, stir, and scrape any bits off the bottom of the pan. Add the bread and the remaining ¼ cup olive oil and toss to coat.
  • Add the kale and cook until it begins to wilt, about 1 minute. Add 1 cup of the broth and stir.
  • Transfer to a casserole dish and pour the remaining 1 cup broth evenly over the stuffing.
  • Sprinkle with the dried cranberries, remaining whole sage leaves and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Let sit for at least 15 minutes or until ready to serve.

Notes

To reheat, add a bit more stock and bake until warmed through and slightly crisp on top. Crusty bakery bread works best in this recipe. Soft sandwich bread will become too soggy.
