Instructions
To prepare the cornbread: Preheat oven to 375° F. Grease a 9-by 13-inch baking dish and set aside.. In a medium mix bowl, stir together the cornmeal, gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar. Add the extra-virgin olive oil and buttermilk and stir to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and stir together until just combined. Fold in the corn and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Bake for 23-25minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool, then cut into 1-inch cubes and spread out on a baking sheet. Let sit out, uncovered, for 1-2 days to dry.
To prepare the stuffing: In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, vegetable stock, and lemon zest. Set aside. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add onions and a large pinch of salt, and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until the onions are soft and translucent. Add the shallots, garlic, thy me, bay leaf and another pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper. Stir to combine and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until shallots and garlic soften. Add white wine and increase the heat. When the liquid has reduced by half, add the mushrooms, a generous pinch of salt, and stir to combine. Sauté the mushrooms for 5-6 minutes, until they just begin to soften. Add the apple cider vinegar, sauté for 1 minute, and then add kale. Sauté for 2 minutes until kale begins to wilt, taste for seasoning, then remove from heat. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a large mixing bowl, add the cornbread, sage, and egg mixture. Mix to combine and transfer to the prepared baking dish.
To bake stuffing: Preheat oven to 325° F. Cover with foil and bake 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until cornbread turns golden brown.
