Mushroom Stuffing

This recipe is from an article in the Montreal Gazette that was printed for Christmas 1982. My nanny would use this recipe every time she cooked a holiday meal. It is super simple and delicious!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup finely chopped onion

  • 1 cup finely chopped celery

  • 1/2 cup melted vegan butter (I like to use the butter flavoured Nutiva coconut oil because it has a nice salty, savoury taste)

  • 8 cups day old bread cubes (the last few times I made this I used bread rolls that I cut into cubes and toasted in the oven)

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 2-3 tbsps poultry seasoning (or more if you like!)

  • Approx. 1/2 cup of veggie broth (I like to soak dried mushrooms in boiled water and use that as broth)

  • 1 pint of mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Sauté onion and celery in butter until softened.

  2. Pour over bread cubes in a large bowl.

  3. Add remaining ingredients except broth and toss to mix well.

  4. Add broth a little at a time until stuffing is moistened but not wet.

  5. Makes about 10 cups of stuffing.

  6. Add 1 pint of mushrooms, sliced and sautéed in a little vegan butter.

Veggie Gravy

I found this quick and easy veggie gravy recipe online and it is a hit! Even my non-vegan family members enjoy it and have asked for the recipe. The original recipe can be found here: https://www.food.com/recipe/easy-vegetarian-gravy-226004

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons vegan butter (again, I use the butter flavoured Nutiva coconut oil for this)

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onions

  • 2 minced garlic gloves

  • 3 tablespoons flour

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 cup water

  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Put vegan butter in a pot and sauté the onions and garlic over medium-high heat.

  2. Reduce heat back to medium after onions and garlic have become golden brown.

  3. Make a roux by gradually adding the flour, while continuously stirring to avoid lumps.

  4. Still stirring, add soy sauce and water to the mixture.

  5. Add salt and pepper to taste.

  6. Once the gravy has reached desired thickness, turn off the stove and you are done!

Let me know if you try them! They are two of my go-to recipes for the holidays.
