Easy, Basic Vegan Stuffing

As someone married to a guy who loves stuffing more than the majority of any other food, believe me (and him) when I say this stuffing is epic and delicious. It's simple and just full of flavour!

Ingredients

  • 2 flax eggs 2 tbsp flax meal + 6 tbsp warm water
  • 2 small onions 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 medium carrots
  • 3 ribs celery
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter/margarine + more to grease the baking dish
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic  about 3-4 cloves
  • 1 tsp ground sage
  • 2 tsp dried thyme or 2 tbsp fresh thyme
  • 2 tbsp dried parsley

  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 325F.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the flax egg and let gel for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a food processor, blitz onion, carrot, and celery until you get a uniform mince.
  4. In a large pan/pot over medium heat, melt the vegan butter and add the onion, carrot, and celery mixture to cook until softened (about 6-7 minutes). Add the garlic and cook until fragrant (1-2 minutes).
  5. Once the veggies have softened, add the dried herbs (sage, thyme, and parsley) to the pan and stir to rehyrdate the herbs.
  6. Add the flax egg mixture and vegetable broth (if you don't like a soggy/homogenous stuffing, start with 3 1/4 cups and add more as needed) and stir to mix everything.
  7. Bring to a simmer and then add the stuffing croutons. Stir to coat and absorb the liquid into the bread. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Transfer to a greased baking dish (I used a 9x13 sized casserole dish) and dot with a couple extra bits of butter for extra richness. You can leave this out but it does help brown it a bit more.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes or until the top is golden.
