Mushroom Stuffing

We’re obsessed with mushrooms, send help. We kid, don’t send help. Mushrooms are one of our favourite ingredients to work with. They’re delicious and add a lot of flavour to vegan food. They have a “meaty” texture that make them the perfect replacement for meat. Plus, they’re real ingredients – no fake meat in sight!

Neither of us haven’t strayed from a classic stuffing at any of our Thanksgivings previously. This year we took our mushroom obsession to a whole new level. Our stuffing recipe is packed full of all our favourite mushroom varieties. From white to portobello to shiitake to dehydrated! It’s a mushroom lovers dream.

For those hat are used to meat in their stuffing, the “meaty-ness” of mushrooms give that texture needed. This isn’t your boring Thanksgiving stuffing, it’s moist, delicious and flavourful. It’ll knock the socks off any non-vegan at your dinner table this holiday season.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dehydrated mushrooms, shiitake or flower
  • 1 cup white mushrooms
  • 1 large portobello mushroom
  • 1 cup shiitake mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil, divided
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/4 white onion
  • 1 tbsp thyme
  • 1 small baguette, stale
  • 1 1/2 cups boiling water
  • 1 tbsp sage
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast

Instructions

  • Add your dehydrated mushrooms to your boiling water to re-hydrate. This will also create a delicious mushroom broth in the water, do not throw this out!
  • Slice your white mushrooms and portobello mushroom and set aside in a large bowl, along with your whole shiitake mushrooms. Once your mushrooms are re-hydrated slice those and add them to the mushroom bowl. Set aside the mushroom broth to be used later.
  • Mince your garlic and dice your white onion and add to a pan along with 1 tbsp of avocado oil. Sautee for about 3-5 minutes.
  • Once the garlic begins to brown add in your mushroom mixture and 1 tbsp of fresh thyme and toss until coated in oil. Sautee until all your mushrooms are tender, about 7-10 minutes.
  • Set your mushroom mixture aside and allow to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Slice your stale baguette into cubes your desired size and add to a large bowl. Add in your mushroom mixture, sage, 1 cup of your mushroom broth, nutritional yeast and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Add your remaining avocado oil to a cast iron pan and using a paper towel coat all around the pan.
  • Add your stuffing to the cast iron pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Broil your stuffing on medium for about 5 minutes. Watch carefully, because every oven is different and your food can burn very quickly.
