Southwestern-Style Spoonbread Dressing Preparation

Prepare cornbread according to package directions; cool and crumble into a large bowl. Set aside. Cook cumin seeds in a heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, 3 minutes or until seeds are more fragrant and lightly browned. Cool seeds and crush; set aside. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; add celery and next 3 ingredients, and cook, stirring constantly, until tender. Stir celery mixture, crushed cumin, stuffing mix, and next 5 ingredients into crumbled cornbread. Spoon into a lightly greased 13 x 9 x 2 baking dish. Bake at 350F for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Garnish, if desired. Yield: 8 servings. On a Lighter Side: To save 51 calories and 8.1 fat grams per serving, prepare cornbread mix using egg substitute and nonfat buttermilk. Substitute 2 tablespoons reduced-calorie margarine for the 1/4 cup butter. Substitute 5 cups plus 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium, ready-to-serve, fat-free chicken broth for condensed chicken broth and water, and 1/2 cup egg substitute for eggs. Instead of greasing the baking dish, coat it with vegetable cooking spray. Bake at 350F for 1 hour and 5 minutes. This version makes a firmer textured dressing than the original.
