Makes 12-16 servings.
Ingredients:
- 12 oz. whole wheat bread, cut into half inch cubes (about 7 cups)
- 14 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 large white onions, chopped
- 2 ribs celery, chopped
- 1 bulb fennel, cored and chopped
- 4 apples, cored and chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 poblano chillies, roasted, peeled, stemmed, seeded, and chopped

- 1⁄2 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 2 tbsp finely chopped chives

- Add the prunes, cumin, pepper, parsley, chives, orange zest, and salt and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Transfer mixture to the bowl with the toasted bread cubes and gently stir until combined. Let cool for 10 minutes. Stir in the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
