SIMPLE VEGAN STUFFING



Simple Vegan Stuffing image

My family's prized stuffing recipe veganized! A hearty, healthy side dish that requires just 9 ingredients and is loaded with protein and fiber from lentils and whole-grain bread!

Provided by Minimalist Baker

Categories     Side

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large loaf whole-grain bread* ((cubed & set out to dry overnight // 1 large loaf yields ~9 cups loosely packed cubes))
3/4 cup uncooked green lentils
3 Tbsp olive oil or vegan butter ((I used a mix of both))
1/2 cup white onions ((diced))
3/4 cup celery ((diced))
Salt & pepper
3 - 3 1/2 cups vegetable broth (plus more for cooking lentils // DIY or store-bought)
1 Tbsp flaxseed meal ((to make flax egg))
2 ½ Tbsp water ((to make flax egg))
3/4 tsp dried sage*

Steps:

  • The night before, cube your bread and set it in a large bowl to dry out - you want it to be the texture of day old bread - noticeably dry but not rock hard.
  • The day of, if you haven't already cooked your lentils, do so now by thoroughly rinsing 3/4 cup lentils in cold water, then adding to a small saucepan with 1 1/2 cups veggie broth or water (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size).
  • Cook over medium-high heat until a low boil is achieved, and then lower to a simmer and continue cooking uncovered for 20-30 minutes. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and line a 9x13 pan (or comparable sized dish // as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) with foil or spray with nonstick spray. Also prepare flax egg by mixing flaxseed meal and water and set aside.
  • Sauté onion and celery in the olive oil or vegan butter and season with a bit of salt and pepper. Cook until fragrant and translucent - about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • To the bowl of bread, pour most of the broth then add the remaining ingredients (sage, cooked veggies, flax egg, and lentils) and mix with a wooden spoon. The key is to make sure it is about the consistency of a meatloaf: Moist but not soggy. It should hold its shape if formed into a shape but liquid shouldn't squeeze out of it. Too dry and it will be really dry after cooking. Too wet and it will be soggy and never get any crisp texture. If too dry, add more broth and mix again. If it's gotten too wet, add more bread.
  • Transfer to the prepared pan and cover with foil. Bake for 45 minutes. Then remove the top layer of foil so the top can brown. Increase heat to 400 degrees F (204 C) and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the top is well browned and crisp.
  • Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Leftovers reheat well in the microwave or oven, though best when fresh.
  • This dish would be awesome with vegan mashed potatoes and my vegan mushroom gravy!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your stuffing more flavor and texture. Good choices include celery, onion, carrots, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • Use a good quality bread. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your stuffing. Look for a bread that is slightly stale, as this will help it absorb the other ingredients better.
  • Season the stuffing well. Use a combination of herbs, spices, and salt and pepper to taste. Some good choices include sage, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Moisten the stuffing. This will help it bind together and prevent it from becoming dry. You can use vegetable broth, water, or even milk.
  • Let the stuffing rest before baking. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the bread to absorb the moisture.
  • Bake the stuffing until it is golden brown and crispy on top. This will take about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Vegan stuffing is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or any other holiday meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With so many different recipes to choose from, you are sure to find one that you love. So next time you are looking for a side dish that is both tasty and satisfying, give vegan stuffing a try.
