1/2 cup water
1 onion, chopped
3 cups sliced mushrooms
(about 1/2 lb.)
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
4 cups cubed bread
1/3 cup finely chopped parsley
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp marjoram
1/2 tsp sage
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup very hot water or
vegetable stock
--------------------------
Heat 1/2 cup water in a large
pot or skillet. Add the onion
and cook 5 minutes. Add the
sliced mushrooms & celery and
cook over medium heat, stirring
occasionally, until the
mushrooms begin to brown, about
5 minutes. Preheat oven to 350F.
Stir in bread & spices, salt &
pepper. Lower the heat & continue
cooking for 3 minutes, then stir
in the water or stock, a little at
a time, until the dressing obtains
the desired moistness. Spread in an
oil-sprayed baking dish, cover &
bake for 20 minutes. Remove the
cover and bake 10 more minutes.
