- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large celery stalks diced
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ cup fresh parsley chopped
- 2-3 cups vegetable broth
- 6 cups of cornbread crumbs either homemade or from a store, stale bread is best
- 3 tablespoons dried cranberries
Grease a casserole dish and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place olive oil, celery, onion, garlic, salt, rosemary and sage in medium skillet over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Add 2 cups vegetable broth and stir. Add parsley, stir and continue to cook until liquid evaporates.
Add stale cornbread crumbs and stir to combine. The mixture should be moist but not soggy. You can add more vegetable broth if you need to.
Pour cornbread mixture into prepared casserole dish.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.
If you like a crispy top (like me) take off the aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
Top with dried cranberries and serve immediately.
You can buy cornbread from a bakery or grocery store or make it yourself. Either works perfectly in this recipe.
You can leave the uncovered cornbread (whether homemade or store bought) for a few days on the counter to become stale.
