Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large, dry skillet over medium heat, add the pine nuts. Toast them, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant. This should take about 5 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on them to prevent burning. Once toasted, transfer the pine nuts to a bowl and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the butter and olive oil. Heat over medium heat until the butter melts and starts to sizzle.
- Add the finely chopped onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions become soft and translucent, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the chopped prosciutto to the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the prosciutto is crispy, about 5 minutes.
- Return the toasted pine nuts to the skillet and stir to combine.
- Add the bread crumbs and stir well to incorporate them with the other ingredients.
- Add the currants and finely chopped fresh sage. Stir thoroughly to ensure everything is well mixed and evenly distributed.
5. Season and Adjust:
- Taste the stuffing and season with salt and pepper as needed. Remember that prosciutto can be quite salty, so taste before adding additional salt.
- If serving as a side dish, transfer the stuffing to a serving bowl.
- If using as a stuffing for poultry, allow it to cool before stuffing the bird.
- For a crispier texture, you can transfer the stuffing to a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden and crispy.
Tips:
- Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown to enhance their nutty flavor.
- Chop the prosciutto finely and sauté it until crispy to add texture to the stuffing.
- Make sure the onions and garlic are cooked until soft and translucent to release their full flavors.
- Use fresh sage if available for a more vibrant taste, but dried sage works as well in a pinch.
- Mix the breadcrumbs thoroughly to ensure they absorb all the delicious juices and flavors from the other ingredients.
Rich, hearty, and full of complex flavors, this Prosciutto, Pine Nut & Currant Stuffing is sure to become a new favorite. Whether served alongside a roast or as part of a more elaborate spread, it's a versatile dish that elevates any meal.
