Moroccan Simple Gluten-Free Stuffing
Description
Moroccan Simple Gluten-Free Stuffing uses Vidalia onions and fresh apples cooked with warming spices such as cinnamon, cumin, paprika, and allspice to create a layered flavor base. The stew-like mixture is tossed with cinnamon raisin bread cubes and dried fruits like apricots and golden raisins, bringing a sweet contrast to the spices. Incorporating chicken broth and apple juice adds moisture and depth as the bread soaks up these liquids before baking. The 45-50 minute baking time crisps the top while leaving the interior soft. The pistachios sprinkled on top give a roasted, salty crunch that complements the chewy fruit and tender bread. This stuffing is a good choice when you want a gluten-free alternative with a Middle Eastern flavor twist that still offers moistness and texture variety typical of classic stuffing dishes.
Serve alongside roasted poultry or other savory mains where a fruity, spiced bread stuffing enhances the meal. This version works well to add unique, aromatic notes with its blend of spices and fruit while avoiding gluten-containing bread.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 vidalia onion diced (I use my food processor)
- 3 cups apple diced (about 2 large apples, I like Fuji)
- 1 tablespoon ginger minced, fresh
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cumin ground
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 gluten-free cinnamon raisin bread cut into 1-inch cubes, loaf of
- 1 1/4 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1/2 cup cilantro roughly chopped and tightly packed
- 1/2 cup dried apricot diced
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 1 cup chicken broth reduced-sodium
- 2/3 cup apple juice pure
- 1/3 cup pistachio roughly chopped, roasted; salted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a large casserole dish.
- In a large frying pan, heat the oil on medium-high heat.
- Add in the onion and cook until soft and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add in the apple, ginger, cinnamon, cumin, paprika, and allspice, and cook just until the apple begins to soften, about 2 minutes.
- Add the cooked apple mixture into a very large bowl. Add in the bread cubes, salt, cilantro, apricots, and golden raisins. Toss until evenly mixed.
- Add in the chicken broth and apple juice and gently mix (using your hands is the easiest) until the bread has absorbed the moisture.
- Bake until the bread is cooked and the top is golden brown and slightly crispy, about 45-50 minutes.
- Sprinkle with pistachios and DEVOUR!
