VEGETARIAN STUFFING

I take this to our family gathering for the holidays. Everyone likes it - the meat eaters don't miss the giblets. You can make it vegan by deleting the mushroom soup and increasing the broth, also use no/low fat soup if you like. Chopped walnuts can be substituted for chopped pecans.

MOM'S VEGETARIAN STUFFING



Mom's Vegetarian Stuffing image

Mom makes great stuffing - if you can get some! It's usually gone before it goes around the table, so I think she should double the recipe... I always get some, because she sets some aside for me (the only vegetarian) before she stuffs the bird. Feel free to add more or less of things, that's how Mom cooks, so this is an estimation based on memory.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups bread, cubed, dried (stale)
1 cup vegetable broth
1 egg, beaten with a fork (optional)
1/4 cup grapeseed oil or 1/4 cup olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, large, chopped, including leaves (Mom says they're the best part!)
3 leaves lovage, chopped (optional, could substitute parsley or celery leaves)
1/4 cup red pepper, chopped finely
1/4 teaspoon summer savory
1/2 cup apple, chopped
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup cranberries, fresh (optional)

  • Saute the above vegetables in oil and toss with bread, broth, raisins, apples, cranberries, and remaining ingredients. Put in an oven friendly container and cover. Place in oven alongside anything that is cooking at the time (like the turkey - or tofurkey).
  • Take out of the oven after 60 minutes. Leave covered until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your stuffing more flavor and texture. Some good options include celery, carrots, onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. Cook them until they are just softened and still have a bit of a bite.
  • Use fresh herbs. They will add a lot of flavor to your stuffing. Some good options include parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make vegetarian stuffing. Feel free to add your own favorite ingredients or adjust the recipe to your liking.
  • Make sure the stuffing is moist. This will help to prevent it from drying out when it is baked.
