Preparation

Step 1

In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; fry half of the onions, stirring occasionally, until toffee brown, 20 minutes.

Add butter, remaining onions, celery, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until second addition of onions is translucent, about 30 minutes.

In large bowl, toss together bread cubes, sage, marjoram, thyme and nutmeg; add onion mixture and toss well. Add stock; toss to combine. Transfer to 13- x 9-inch (3 L) glass baking dish; cover with foil. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)

Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes.
