Chestnut dressing with sage brown butter
Dressings
My grandmother makes what I consider to be the best darned Thanksgiving dressing ever, and try as I might, I have never been able to duplicate it. So to save myself needless frustration, I have gone in a completely different direction with my own dressing recipe. It incorporates some of my favorite fall flavors - earthy roasted chestnuts, plenty of sage, and nutty browned butter. A mixture of egg yolks and crème fraiche gives it a little richness, keeping it moist and almost custardy in the middle. We are lucky to get fresh chestnuts at our local farmers' market, but if you can't find them, feel free to substitute good quality jarred chestnuts, drained and rinsed.
