Add a twist to your holiday stuffing with this vegetarian spin! Earthly Swiss chard and sage will add a new flavor to your dish while chestnuts will provide a welcoming crunch.
Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a saucepan over medium heat, simmer broth and porcini mushrooms together to infuse the flavor. Reduce liquid until you have 2 1/2 cups, about 30 minutes. Strain.
Grease a 3-4 qt. baking dish with butter. Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat until butter is melted. Add chopped onion, celery, Swiss chard stems, 1 ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies soften and just barely start to brown, around 10 mins. Add sage, and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Gradually fold in Swiss chard leaves until wilted. Remove from heat.
Whisk together 2 ½ cups infused broth, eggs, remaining 2 tsp salt and remaining 1 tsp pepper in a large bowl. Add chard mixture, toasted stuffing, chestnuts and parsley stirring well to combine. Spread mixture evenly in previously prepared baking dish. Cover tightly with aluminum foil to create seal. Let stand for 45 mins.
Bake in oven until heated through, around 30 mins. Remove foil and bake until lightly browned, about an additional 30 mins. Let stand 10 mins before serving.
