Serve up a stuffing everyone can enjoy with this delicious gluten-free and dairy-free option!
Ingredients
- 3 cups gluten-free bread cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup small-diced yellow onion
- 1 head fennel, small-diced
- 3 cloves garlic, small-diced
- 1 stalk celery, small-diced
- 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and small-diced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh sage or 1 teaspoon dry sage
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock (adjust according to dryness of bread)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 300°F.
Place bread cubes in an even layer on a sheet pan and bake 10–20 minutes, until completely dried out. Remove toasted bread cubes from oven and place in a large mixing bowl.
Raise oven temperature to 350°F.
Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add olive oil then onion, fennel, garlic, and celery. Cook for 10 minutes, or until tender and translucent. Add apple, season with salt, pepper, and sage, and cook for 5 minutes. Add stock and bring to a simmer.
Add stock and vegetable mixture to the bowl of bread cubes and gently mix to combine. If the stuffing is a little dry, add more stock until all of the bread cubes are slightly moistened (too much stock will turn the dish to mush).
Place stuffing in an oiled baking dish and bake for 30 minutes, until golden brown and hot throughout.
