Chestnut Stuffing

A simple chestnut bread stuffing that you bake separately, not in your turkey.

Ingredients

• 2 cups chestnuts
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups margarine
• 1 lb day-old bread, cubed (2 loaves)
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp poultry seasoning
• 1/4 tsp pepper

Preparation

Slice the surface of each chestnut. With just enough water to cover, bring to a boil and simmer for 25 minutes until the nuts are tender. Drain, peel and chop coarsely. Preheat oven to 350F. In another saucepan, melt margarine, and add onion, chestnuts and seasonings.

Heat until onion is soft. Mix with bread in a baking dish. In another bowl, whisk together milk and eggs, and pour over bread. Bake for 30-45 minutes until the top is crisp.
