_Ripieno_
2 small link sausages
Giblets of the fowl
1 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon drippings
1 egg
A few dried mushrooms[11]
Nutmeg
Very little salt and pepper
8 or 10 large roasted chestnuts
Brown the sausages and giblets in drippings. Add a cup of boiling
water and simmer until cooked. Skim them from their broth and put the
bread crumbs to soak in it. Skin the sausages and chop or grind them
together with the giblets, chestnuts and the mushrooms which have been
washed and soaked in warm water. Mix thoroughly with the bread crumbs.
Add more bread crumbs or hot water if it is not the right consistency.
Double the quantity for a turkey. This dressing is very nice sliced
cold.
