Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 package of vegan stuffing cubes, seasoned or not
- 1 package dry vegetable soup mix (check ingredients)
- water per directions on the stuffing mix package
- oil/ non-hydrogenated vegan margarine per directions on the stuffing mix package (optional)
Directions:
This is my quick, vegan take on
a "stove top stuffing" type substance.
Many of us grew up with the stuff, and
I haven't been able to find a vegan
flavor of any stuffing mix that
includes all the flavorings necessary
to make a good stuffing.
For all the vegan packaged stuffing,
you have to chop and sauté a bunch of
veggies to make it actually taste like
stuffing.
While this isn't as tasty as something
you'd put on your Thanksgiving table,
it works great as a quick, cheap,
satisfying side dish.
The soup mix should be the kind with
little bits of dried peas and carrots
and whatnot in it.
Mix the water, oil, and the soup package
together and simmer for a minute or two
to rehydrate the veggies.
Stir in the vegan bread cubes. Let it rest with
the lid on for at least a few minutes,
but it's better if you let it rest for
longer while finishing up the rest of the meal.
The water can be kind of a problem. It
will vary from brand to brand, and will
probably be more than the amount listed
on the package because water would be
released from the vegetables when they
are sautéed.
The first time you make it, add the amount
on the package or a little more, then after
you stir the stuffing, if it's too dry
sprinkle hot water over the stuffing and keep the
flame low to steam things up a bit.
