Spicy Lemon-Ginger Bread Stuffing

Ingredients

• 2 fresh green chiles
• like jalapeno or serrano
• seeded and coarsely chopped
• 1 lemon
• halved and seeded (use organic because the skin will be eaten)
• 2 inch piece fresh ginger
• peeled and coarsely chopped
• 1 clove garlic
• peeled
• 1 1/2 cups large bread crumbs
• torn from day-old coarse white bread
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
• 3 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

1. In a blender or food processor, combine the chiles, half of the lemon (pulp, peel and all), ginger and garlic.
2. Pulse together until finely chopped.
3. (Or, finely chop ingredients together with a large knife.)
4. Transfer to a bowl, and add the bread, caraway seeds and melted butter.
5. If the stuffing seems dry, squeeze the remaining lemon half over the mixture and toss again.
