JULIA CHILD'S 'FARCE A LA TAPENADE' MUSHROOM AND OLIVE STUFFING FROM PROVENCE image

Categories     Pork     Side     Bake     Thanksgiving     Stuffing/Dressing

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb. (2 c.) fresh sausage meat
1 c. minced onions
the turkey liver, minced (we've left this out lately)
1 lb. fresh mushrooms, trimmed, washed, and diced
1 c. pitted black olives, diced
2 "large eggs", lightly beaten
1 small clove garlic, pureed through a press
1/2 t. thyme
1/2 bay leaf, pulverized
4 c. croutons (homemade-type white bread cut in 1/2-inch dice and dried out in oven)
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Spray 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray bake at same temperature as turkey for 40-60 minutes. Break up sausage meat and saute' slowly in a frying pan until lightly browned; remove to a big mixing bowl, and pour fat into another bowl. Return 2 T. fat to pan and saute onions 6 to 8 minutes, until tender and very lightly browned; add minced liver and saute' with onion for a minute or two. Scrape onions in to bowl with sausage. In another 2 T. of oil, saute' mushrooms until pieces begin to separate from each other, then scrape into mixing bowl. Beat in the olives, eggs, garlic, and herbs. Fold in the croutons, add salt and pepper to taste. **We've made changes over the years to make a bit easier, the mushrooms are supposed to be twisted in the corner of towel or squeezed through a potato ricer to remove the juices. I usually just dice them now in the Cuisinart, that was so time consuming and we found it didn't taste much different!
