Scale
Base Ingredients
- ¾ to 1 ½ cups diced white onions, small dice *
- ¾ to 1 ½ cups diced celery, small dice *
- 1 ½ cups + 2 Tablespoons low-sodium vegetable broth *
- 1 ½ cups + 2 Tablespoons water
- 3 Tablespoons [raw] cashew butter *
- 1 Tablespoon nutritional yeast
Herb/Spice Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon dried rubbed sage (+/-) *
- ½ teaspoon dried crushed thyme leaves (+/-) *
- ¾ teaspoon poultry seasoning (+/-) *
- Pinch dried rosemary powder (+/-) *
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ to 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt (+/-) *
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper (+/-)
Other Ingredients
- 10 cup (9 oz.) dried bread cubes *
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F degrees, center rack.
- Place the Herb/Spice Ingredients into a small bowl, mix well to combine, set aside.
- Placed the diced onions and celery into a large skillet, sauté over medium heat for approximately 7 to 9 minutes until tender (or nearly tender). Add a splash of water (if needed) to prevent burning. Take off the burner and set aside.
- In the meantime, place the vegetable broth and water into a large pot and bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Add the cashew butter and whisk until well distributed and emulsified into the broth.
- Next add the Herb/Spice Mix and the sauteed celery and onions into broth, mix well, simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, then turn off the stove. Note: Do not simmer for more than 10 minutes as to evaporate a lot of the broth.
- Pour the bread cubes into the pot (with the broth mixture), mix quickly and mix well until the bread cubes have soaked up all the broth.
- Then place the stuffing into baking dish (or similar dish – see notes). Cover with foil.
- Place in a preheated 400 F oven for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, remove the foil, fluff the stuffing, then place under the broiler for a few minutes until lightly browned on top.
- Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to marry. Serve and enjoy!
