Cornbread Stuffing with Ham, Chestnuts, and Sage

This hearty cornbread stuffing with ham, chestnuts, and sage is a sophisticated twist on a classic side dish. Packed with savoury flavours, it combines the gentle sweetness of golden cornbread with salty diced ham and the buttery, earthy notes of steamed chestnuts. It is a brilliant addition to a festive spread or a warming Sunday lunch, offering a wonderful contrast of textures from the soft, herb-flecked centre to the golden, crisp topping.

As a high-protein accompaniment, this dish is satisfying enough to stand alongside a simple roast chicken or turkey while being incredibly easy to prepare in advance. The use of fresh sage and flat-leaf parsley provides a fragrant finish that balances the richness of the ingredients. Whether you are hosting a large family gathering or looking for a comforting homemade side, this stuffing delivers a professional, gourmet result every time.

Ingredients for Cornbread Stuffing with Ham, Chestnuts, and Sage

  • Stone-Ground Cornbread

  • 90ml (3/4 stick) butter, divided

  • 230g ham steak, cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 200g )

  • 200g chopped onions

  • 3 large celery stalks, chopped (about 275g )

  • 2 cucchiai di salvia fresca tritata

  • 1 7.700g jar steamed peeled chestnuts, coarsely crumbled

  • 1/3 tazza di prezzemolo fresco tritato

  • 1/2 cucchiaini di sale

  • 1/2 cucchiaini di pepe nero macinato

  • 350ml (or more) low-salt chicken broth

  • 2 uova grandi

  • Spray antiaderente all'olio vegetale

Preheat oven to 177°C. Coarsely crumble cornbread onto large rimmed baking sheet. Toast in oven until slightly dried, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven. Maintain oven temperature.

Butter 11x7x2-inch glass baking dish. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced ham and sauté until browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer ham to large bowl. Melt 60ml butter in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery, and sage; cover and cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Transfer vegetable mixture to bowl with ham. Stir in chestnuts, parsley, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper. (Toasted cornbread and ham mixture can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and store cornbread at room temperature. Cool ham mixture slightly, then cover and refrigerate.)

Stir crumbled cornbread into ham mixture. Whisk 350ml chicken broth and eggs in medium bowl to blend. Mix into stuffing, adding more chicken broth by tablespoonfuls if dry. Transfer stuffing to prepared baking dish. Dot with remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Spray sheet of foil on 1 side with nonstick spray. Cover cornbread stuffing with foil, sprayed side down. Bake stuffing 40 minutes. Uncover and bake until top begins to brown, about 20 minutes longer.
