about 2 minutes, then onion and celery, and saute 10
minutes. Add green pepper and saute 1 minute.
Combine vegetables with bread and rice mixture in the

In the same pan, saute the sausages over medium heat,
stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until they
are brown and completely cooked, about 8 minutes.
Remove sausages with a slotted spoon; add sausages,
chicken stock concentrate, sage, salt and pepper to
the stuffing mixture. Pour chicken stock, one cup at
a time; mix well. The stuffing should be very moist.

Press cloves of garlic to remove the flesh; add to
