Cranberry Sage Stuffing

3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, minced
5 large celery stalks, chopped (if you have the leaves, chop them too)
2 cups dried cranberries
4 cups white bread, toasted and cut into cubes (or, if dry enough, just crunched up)
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 tsp pepper
2 cups low-sodium vegetable stock, separated

In a large skillet melt the butter with the olive oil, and then sauté the onion and celery together for 3-4 minutes, until tender. Add dried cranberries, and 1 cup of vegetable stock. bring to a simmer for 2 minutes to help replump up dired cranberries.

Transfer everything to a large mixing bowl, and then add toasted bread, sage, eggs, and pepper. Toss together and use just enough of the remaining stock to hold everything together so that it is moist, but not dripping.

Spray an 8×8 baking dish with non-stick spray, and turn out the stuffing, patting down to make sure all the stuffing is level.

Bake at 350F for 30 minutes until heated through and brown on top.
