Saute onion and celery and garlic. *This can be dry sauted in Pam. Mix in croutons and egg. Add a bit of stock or water as needed to moisten.
If desired, add the sausage or seafood. Use this stuffing for squid or
mushroom caps.
If stuffing squid, bake, broil or saute the squid till it is just done. Do not over cook or it will become tough.
If stuffing mushrooms, remove the stems, fill cavity with stuffing, put
the stem back in the stuffing as garnish, or mince and add to the
stuffing. Bake or broil till they are tender.
