Time 20m

Yield Enough stuffing for a 3- to 3 1/2-pound chicken

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 fresh green chiles, like jalapeño or serrano, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 lemon, halved and seeded (use organic because the skin will be eaten)
2 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 1/2 cups large bread crumbs, torn from day-old coarse white bread
1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
3 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

In a blender or food processor, combine the chiles, half of the lemon (pulp, peel and all), ginger and garlic. Pulse together until finely chopped. (Or, finely chop ingredients together with a large knife.)
Transfer to a bowl, and add the bread, caraway seeds and melted butter. If the stuffing seems dry, squeeze the remaining lemon half over the mixture and toss again.
