I made it, and it was GOOD! Very good in fact and well worth all the chopping. Marilyn’s original recipe, and the adaptation by the New York Times are in this blog post
Here it a small portion of it about to go into the oven…
and here it is after cooking for about 30 minutes (only a small portion so it took less time to cook than in the recipe).
It was really lovely and nutty. We’ll be stuffing our Christmas mallard with some of this, and there is enough for some for Mr R’s actual Xmas dinner at his sister’s place too. I only made half Marilyn’s recipe as there is no way I’d have had a mixing bowl big enough to do the full monty!
I made a little demonstration movie too. Not sure when I’ll have time to edit that, but will pop up a link when it is done.
Until then, here I am in my Marilyn Monroe spex (we watched How To Marry A Millionaire after our dinner)
If only I were blonde!
Have a wonderful, wonderful festive season, see you on the flipside!
I’m so impressed at your dedication…blogging on Christmas Eve! But glad you did 🙂 I found the hard boiled eggs to be the most unusual part of this recipe…but the flavors and moistness were great! I’m sure everyone loved it at Mr.R’s sister’s. The specs look great! Wishing you a happy, healthy, prosperous New Year with lots of food and festivities (it’ll sre be hard to top your last year!).
It’s a really unusual but delicious dish, not at all like the stuffing we are used to here in the UK, but I loved it. Wishing you a super happy, healthy and prosperous New Year too – lots more cooking, blogging and eating ahead – yipee!!!!
