4 T hazelnuts (toasted, coarsely chopped)
2 T onion (chopped onion)
1 pce celery (chopped)
1 1⁄2 T cooking oil (or butter, for a traditional taste)
1⁄2 c bread crumbs (fresh bread crumbs)
1 t lemon zest (grated)

Instructions

Place apricots in a bowl and cover in boiling water. Soak.

Heat butter in a pan. Fry onion and  celery gently until soft but not brown.

Remove pan from heat. Add breadcrumbs, hazelnuts, chopped apricots and lemon rind. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Notes

The apricots should release enough liquid to keep the stuffing together. If the mixture appears to be dry, add some of the liquid reserved.

This recipe should yield enough stuffing for a 4-5 lb chicken, the size to feed about 6 people.
