- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 medium-large yellow onions, diced
- 4 medium stalks celery, chopped
- 1 small fennel bulb, diced
- 1 pound mushrooms, sliced

- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 3 tablespoons fresh sage
- ¼ cup chopped flat leaf parsley
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ to 2 cups vegetable broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot. Add the onions, celery, and fennel, and sauté for 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes more. Turn off heat and add the bread, chestnuts, herbs, and olive oil. Mix well, then add broth until the stuffing is quite moist but not overly soggy. Add salt and pepper if you 'd like.
- Place in an oiled casserole dish, cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 minutes longer, until stuffing is crusty on top.
