Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons  butter
  • 3 tablespoons  olive oil
  • 1 pound  trimmed fennel bulbs, cored and diced (about 2 bulbs)
  • 3 cups  chopped onions (3 large)
  • 1/4 cup  chopped green onions, white parts only (about 5 onions)
  • 1 teaspoon  salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
  • 12 ounces  cremini mushrooms, quartered
  • 4 ounces  shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and quartered
  • 15 cups  stale artisanal olive bread cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup  freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup  oil-pack dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup  reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon  snipped fresh tarragon
  • 1 tablespoon  snipped fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon  snipped fresh basil
Directions

1. In a large skillet heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat until foamy. Stir in fennel, onions, and green onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook and stir about 6 minutes or until vegetables are soft. Add mushrooms; cook and stir about 4 minutes or until mushrooms are slightly soft.

2. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Stir in bread cubes, 3/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese, and the dried tomatoes. (To serve today, omit Step 3 and continue as directed in Step 4.)

3. Let mixture cool; transfer to a resealable plastic bag. Seal bag; chill for up to 2 days.

4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Transfer bread mixture to prepared dish. Drizzle with broth. Carefully stir in tarragon, thyme, and basil. Bake, covered, for 40 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes more or until hot in center (165 degrees F).
