Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 400 g bread, cut into small cubes (ideally stale)
- 150 g vegan butter
- 400 g vegan sausages, chopped into small pieces
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 stalks celery, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (cornflour)
- Pinch of flaky sea salt and ground black pepper
- 700 ml vegetable stock/broth, boiling hot
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish.
- Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 10 minutes, until lightly crisped. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the vegan butter over medium heat. Add the vegan sausage and cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes.
- Add the onion, celery, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the fresh sage, dried sage, parsley, and rosemary. Cook for another 2 minutes to release the flavors.
- In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the boiling vegetable stock until dissolved.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes with the cooked sausage mixture. Pour the hot stock over and mix well until evenly moistened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 25 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 15–20 minutes until the top is golden and crisp.
- Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use any crusty bread like sourdough or ciabatta for best texture.
- This stuffing can be assembled ahead and baked the next day—just refrigerate after assembling.
- Add chopped apples or dried cranberries for a festive twist.
