"Our Ayala blend lends an herbaceous and garlicky zest to a classic Thanksgiving stuffing, perfectly balancing savory bacon, sausage, or mushrooms. You can prepare this recipe a day in advance. Store the unbaked stuffing in the refrigerator. Remove it from the fridge and bring it to room temperature, for about an hour. Bake as directed."


Note: This recipe calls for a custom spice blend whose main ingredients include rosemary, salt and pepper: Ayala N. 16 by Lior Lev Sercarz, available from La Boîte NY here.

Tip

Sub half the croutons for cornbread croutons.

This recipe is similar to our families, especially because it uses bacon. For decades I rarely saw a stuffing recipe with bacon rather than sausage. My aunt insisted on including finely cut up giblets too, though.

What can I substitute for the Ayala N.16 spice?

Can I freeze this instead of refrigerating? If so, does it need to be thawed; or can it go straight from the freezer to a preheated oven? If frozen, how long does it take to bake?
