We head into the kitchen at Carlino's Market to make a family recipe passed down from their grandmother: Italian sausage focaccia stuffing, an Italian-American spin on traditional Thanksgiving Day stuffing.
"And we're going to pop it in the oven a little bit, just to dry out the bread a little bit," says Milani. "The focaccia is so nice because it has the nice, pillowy inside that's going to absorb all the liquids and the flavors that we add to it.
""We're building the flavor here. It starts with good sausage," says Milani. Once that's ready, the sausage comes out and the veggies go back into the same pan with extra virgin olive oil and a good amount of butter."We like to add carrots. It's a little sweet, has a little sweet touch as it caramelizes in the pan," says Milani."This is where the house really starts to smell like things coming together. I loved it when my grandmother made this stuffing," Milani says. "It really felt like the holidays."Add two eggs to help bind everything together, some fresh herbs and just enough chicken stock to wet everything and help marry the favors together before popping it in the oven. Since opening Carlino's Market in Ardmore, Pennsylvania more than 40 years ago, it's expanded to reach customers across the country. "It started with my grandparents, who came here from Italy with my dad," she says. "They had this dream to start a little store in Ardmore, and it just grew and grew.""We have four different vineyards," she says, "Two in Italy, one in Argentina and one in France.""We make everything in house: the breads, the pastry, the pasta, the sauces," says Milani. "We have prepared foods, a grocery store. It's just that foodie haven." The Carlinos also published a family cookbook, where the full recipe for the Italian sausage focaccia stuffing can also be found. "It is special stories and recipes intertwined with things that are special to our family," she says. Three of the Carlino siblings now run the business, along with their parents. They grew up in the market. "The bus dropped us off in front of the Ardmore store, and we had to work if we didn't have a school activity," Milani says. "There were no weekends of sleeping in. We worked on the weekends, on holidays. We were all in.""This would be a dream to them," she says. "Honestly. We feel them here."- 3 tbsp. unsalted butter, divided- 2 cups onion, diced small- 6 cups focaccia cubes, dried in the oven for about 10 minutes- 1 tbsp. fresh parsley, finely chopped- freshly ground black pepper, to taste2.
