It’s not just a side dish; it’s a statement of compassion and sustainability on your dining table.
Ingredients
- 1 large loaf of day-old bread (about 10 cups when cubed), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for greasing
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 stalks celery, diced
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 apples, cored and diced (preferably a tart variety)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 2 teaspoons dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups vegetable broth, plus more if needed
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish with olive oil.
- Dry the bread cubes by spreading them on a baking sheet and baking in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Sauté the vegetables. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion, celery, carrots, and apples. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 8-10 minutes. Add the garlic, nuts (if using), sage, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.
- Combine. Pour the sautéed vegetable mixture over the toasted bread cubes. Add the fresh parsley and gently toss to combine. Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring, until the mixture is moist but not soggy. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Bake. Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil, and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
- Serve warm. Enjoy as a perfect complement to your vegan holiday feast or alongside any main dish.
