GF dressing with fennel and rosemary sausage O

MG! I am now a big fan of dressing — no stuffing! I never liked stuffing pre-gluten free living. I never understood the big deal with dressing or stuffing or whatever your family calls it. Now I love it. This is a really easy and awesome gluten-free dressing with fennel and rosemary sausage. I have been thinking about this the past few days because I considered not making it. I must say that there were a few people in my family that were kind of bummed that it wasn’t going to be on the menu. So I thought about it and said, what the heck ... I’ll figure it out! So here it goes. My quantity might be off, depending on the size of your family, but this should serve 4-6 people. Ingredients One loaf of Maninis Gluten Free bread or your own 6-8 stalks of celery 1 large yellow onion 1 large fennel with the

I use Kitchen Basics Chicken or Turkey Broth GF and NO MSG, or Trader Joe’s Turkey Broth GF and NO MSG. Directions Chop up the loaf of bread into cubes. Put the cubes into a bowl and drizzle the olive oil on top to just slightly coat the bread and mix. Add a pinch of sea salt, black pepper. Mix and add 1/2 tbs. garlic powder, 1 tbs. of Italian seasoning and 1 tbs. of thyme. Mix well and then put it on to a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 12-15

Use the same pan, and add some more olive oil to the pan to cover the bottom. Remove the casings of the sausage and put it into the pan. Use the spatula to chop the sau-

and mix well. Add the rest of the seasoning — 1 tbs. of thyme and Italian seasoning, 1/2 tbs. of garlic powder. Mix well and slowly add another 1/2 cup to cup of broth until you reach your desired moistness. This is the part that you can add more or less and where everyone seems to vary on liking “the dressing/stuffing” semi-moist to almost soggy. I will let you make that call from this point. Mix well and continue to cook over medium-low heat covered for about 10-15 minutes. Please note that by covering and letting it simmer it will add moisture to the process so add the broth slowly or use less until it is done cooking. Put the dressing/stuffing into a serving dish and add the fresh spiky fennel to the top and serve. Salud!
