Ground Wagyu Beef and Pignoli Bread Stuffing with Chard

Serves 6

Prep Time: 35 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Lone Mountain Wagyu Ground Beef
  • 4 cups cubed rosemary bread
  • 4 tablespoons butter or olive oil
  • 1 cup shallots, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely diced
  • 3 large celery ribs, chopped
  • 3/4 lb (about 1 bunch) chard, stem ends trimmed and coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup toasted pine nuts**
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian Parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh marjoram
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 2 cups chicken or fresh turkey broth
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease a 2 quart or 9×13″ baking dish and set aside.

Chop bread into one inch cubes and spread evenly over a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until slightly dry, about 10 minutes, and set aside*.

Sautee Ground Wagyu Beef in a large skillet over medium heat, cooking for about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a large bowl. Add butter or olive oil to skillet and allow to melt/heat. Add shallots and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and celery and cook until tender, about 20 minutes, adding chard after about 15 minutes. Mix in pine nuts**, parley, marjoram, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine ground beef, cubed bread, and vegetable blend in a large bowl with 1 cup of broth, mixing well. Stir in remaining stock. Transfer to a prepared baking dish and bake until tip is crisp and golden brown, about 20 minutes.

* To make this dish gluten free, simply replace the bread with brown rice bread and add 1 Tablespoon of chopped fresh rosemary to the vegetables. We tried it with Ener-G Brown Rice Loaf and it was great!

** To toast raw pine nuts, heat the nuts in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
