Kamala Harris shares her cornbread dressing recipe for Thanksgiving
Kamala Harris is sharing one of her own holiday meal traditions ahead of Thanksgiving.
On Tuesday, the vice president-elect posted directions for making "Kamala's Cornbread Dressing," along with a message to her social media followers.
"During difficult times I have always turned to cooking," she wrote on Instagram. "This year, I wanted to share one of my family’s favorite Thanksgiving recipes with you. I hope whenever you’re able to make it in life, it brings you as much warmth as it has brought me—even when separated from those I love."
More than 484,000 people reacted to the recipe and many thanked Harris in the comments section.
Harris has been open about her love for cooking in the past -- like when she did an Instagram Live cooking show with chef Jose Andres, or whipped up Indian-inspired dishes with actress Mindy Kaling.
Here is Harris' cornbread dressing recipe as listed on her Instagram page.
Ingredients
2 8 oz packages of cornbread mix
1 lb spicy pork sausage
2 onions, chopped
2 apples, cored and chopped
4 celery stalks, diced
3/4 cup of chicken broth
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 tsp sage
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp rosemary
Salt an pepper to taste
Directions
1. Bake your cornbread according to the instructions on the package. This can be done the day before, Harris said. Once it's cooled, crumble it.
2. Take the sausage out of its casing, crumble it and brown it in a little oil. When it's cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove it from the pan and set it aside.
3. Saute the vegetables and apples in the remaining oil in the same pan.
4. Mix that with the sausage, cornbread crumbs, melted butter, herbs and chicken broth.
5. Put the mixture in a baking dish and bake at 375 F for about 40 minutes.
