Vegan Herb and Mushroom Stuffing
Ingredients:
- 8 cups of cubed bread (choose a hearty, rustic bread)
- 1 cup of chopped onion
- 1 cup of chopped celery
- 2 cups of mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup of vegan butter or olive oil
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2-3 cups of vegetable broth (adjust as needed)
- 1/2 cup of chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Bread Cubes: Spread the cubed bread on a baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes or until they are slightly crispy. Set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the vegan butter or heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, celery, and mushrooms. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, and the mushrooms release their moisture.
- Add Garlic and Herbs: Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the dried thyme, sage, rosemary, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Combine Bread Cubes and Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes with the sautéed vegetable and herb mixture. Toss until well combined.
- Moisten with Vegetable Broth: Slowly pour the vegetable broth over the bread mixture, stirring continuously until the bread is evenly moistened. Add enough broth to achieve your desired level of moistness.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Remove the foil during the last 10 minutes to allow the top to crisp up slightly.
- Garnish and Serve: Once done, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm.
