Stuffing is non-negotiable when it comes to a holiday dinner, but it is always packed full of butter. If you have lactose-intolerant family or friends, try making dairy-free stuffing that everyone can enjoy this holiday season.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup diced celery
- 3 cups chopped apple
- 1 cup raw walnuts, chopped
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
- ⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 12 ounces stale crusty bread, cut into ½ to ¾ inch cubes
- 1 ¼ cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth, plus extra if needed
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
- Add the olive oil to a large skillet set over medium heat. When hot, add in the onion and cook for about 2 minutes, until it starts to soften. Add in the celery and apple and continue to cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, until everything is tender.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the walnuts, cranberries, orange zest, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Carefully transfer the mixture to a large bowl along with the bread cubes, then toss gently to combine.
- In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the broth and eggs. Pour into the bowl with the bread and toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and bake for about 25 to 30 additional minutes, until the top layer is golden and crisp.
- Let sit for about 10 minutes then serve!
