Servings: persons

1 pound artisinal sourdough bread, cut into 3/4 inch cubes
1 pound lamb sausage (mild, not hot like a merguez)
1/2 stick of butter
2 cloves of garlic, finely minced
2 leeks, white and pale green parts only, thoroughly washed and cut into large dice
3 celery stalks, cut into medium dice
2 granny smith apples, peeld, cored, and cut into medium dice
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup raw pistachio meats
1/3 cup finely sliced fresh mint
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh thyme
1 tablespoon zatar (can be found in middle eastern markets, or through Penzeys)
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken stock
1/2 cup finely minced fresh parsley
6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
olive oil
kosher salt and black pepper to taste

1
Preheat oven to 375 ?. Place bread cubes on sheet trays and bake until dry and just starting to turn golden, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and place in a large mixing bowl.
2
Remove sausage meat from casings, and saute with a little olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat, breaking up large pieces with the back of a spoon, until cooked through. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and add to the bread cubes.
3
Remove any lamb fat from the pan, return it to the heat, add the butter, then the garlic and saute on low-medium heat until it just turns golden. Add the leeks, apples, celery, cranberries, pistachios, rosemary, thyme, zatar, and mint, and turn heat up to medium. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the leeks and apples soften, about 10 minutes. When done, add to the mixing bowl with the meat and bread.
4
Whisk the two eggs and add to the mixing bowl along with 1 to 1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken stock to moisten (how much will depend on the bread you use), add the fresh parsley, the feta cheese, and check again for seasoning.
5
Preheat the oven to 350 ?. Butter a large glass or ceramic baking dish and fill with the stuffing. Top with a piece of buttered foil and bake for about 35-40 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until top is nicely browned.
