  • ½ stick (¼ cup) butter
  • 2 cups peeled, cooked Italian chestnuts (roasted, boiled or jarred
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped (1 ½ cups)
  • 3 small bell peppers (red, green and orange), finely chopped (1 ½ cups)
  • 2 ribs celery, finely chopped (1 cup)
  • 2 14– to 16–oz. pkg. unseasoned bread cubes
  • 1 ½ tsp. dried sage
  • 1 tsp. dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. black pepper
  • ¼ tsp. paprika
  • ⅓ cup finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  1. Preheat oven to 350F. In large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add chestnuts, onion, bell peppers and celery, and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 7 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a large bowl.
  2. Add bread cubes and seasonings to bowl, and toss to mix. Gradually add broth, and toss to mix. (Stuffing should be moist, but not wet.)
