Awesome Lemon and Pine Nut Stuffing

(0 vote)
1/2 pound (5/6 slices) of fresh whole wheat bread
1/4 pound of butter
1 onion, finely chopped
1 large clove garlic, chopped
1 large sprig thyme and/or rosemary
6 leaves fresh sage or 1 Tbsp sage powder
Grated zest of 1 large lemon
1 or 2 cups of cashew or pine nuts
3 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
1 tsp salt and freshly ground black pepper

1. Process the bread in a food processor to fine crumbs.

2. Melt the butter in a large frying pan. When it just melts gently sauté the onion and garlic for about 5 minutes until softened.

3. Strip the leaves from the sprigs of rosemary and thyme and finely chop along with the sage. Mix into the pan and sizzle for 1 minute. Gradually work in the breadcrumbs, stirring until all the butter is absorbed.

4. Mix in the lemon zest, pine nuts and seasoning. Stir over a medium heat for about 7 minutes until the crumbs start to brown and crisp.

5. Remove from the heat and mix in the parsley. Cool. Serve slightly warm with turkey or other poultry.

Warning - this is utterly delicious! (6-8 servings)
