Instructions
In a large saucepan, bring water and giblets to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2 hours.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Combine the egg, milk and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
Transfer to a greased 9-in. square baking pan.
Bake at 400° for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
Cut corn bread into 1/2-in. cubes; set aside.
Strain broth, discarding giblets. Set broth aside; cool slightly. In a large skillet, saute the celery, onion and pecans in butter until vegetables are tender.
Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the corn bread, cubed bread, eggs, seasonings and enough reserved broth to reach desired moistness (about 1-1/2 cups). Save remaining broth for another use.
Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Cover and bake at 350° for 35 minutes. Uncover; bake 8-10 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 160° and top is lightly browned.
Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel
Riesling, Sparkling Wine, and Zinfandel are my top picks for Southern. In general, there are a few rules that will help you pair wine with southern food. Food-friendly riesling or sparkling white wine will work with many fried foods, while zinfandel is great with barbecued fare. The Weingut Schneider Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Trocken with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 30 dollars per bottle.
Weingut Schneider Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Trocken
Smoky aromas lead into a palate that’s incredibly silky, salty and articulate; cherry blossom and scree in ultra hi-def; a delicate nip of chile-thread on the finish doesn’t obtrude on the cool breezy complexity. I don’t remember a better vintage of this wine.
