Ingredients
  

For the Stuffing
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 yellow onion finely chopped
  • 2 celery sticks diced
  • 6 cups dried bread cubes leftover Sourdough Sandwich bread
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Melt 6 tbsp unsalted butter in a large skillet.
  3. Add the minced garlic, chopped yellow onion, and diced celery to the melted butter. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
