Calories: 169kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil or vegan butter
- 1 medium onion, diced finely
- 1 stick celery, diced finely
- ½ cup fresh sage leaves, diced
- 5 cups chunky breadcrumbs, from gluten-free or regular bread (see note for how to make)
- ½ cup vegetable broth or stock
- ½ teaspoon salt (more if needed)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C. Heat oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat.
- Add onion and celery and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add sage and sauté for one minute more. Remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, thoroughly mix onion/celery/sage mixture, breadcrumbs, broth, salt and pepper.
- Pour into deep-sided ovenproof dish or baking sheet, cover with foil and bake 30 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes, until top is golden brown.
- Serve immediately as a side dish, optionally with gravy.
Notes
Breadcrumbs - Make chunky breadcrumbs (tiny store-bought ones will be no good) by throwing a few slices of slightly stale bread into a food processor for a couple of seconds. Or roughly chop into small pieces.
Dried sage - Fresh is best in my view, although you can use dried in a pinch (if so, only use about 2 tbsp).
Vegetable stock/broth - The easiest, cheapest to use are stock cubes dissolved in water, rather than buying actual broth. You don't need much - it's just to bind the stuffing together.
