This gluten free vegan stuffing is bursting with so many different flavors that anybody at the table will enjoy a scoop!
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup + 1/2 cup less-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
- ½ cup dried brown lentils picked through and rinsed
- ½ cup dried green lentils picked through and rinsed
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 celery stalks chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- ½ small white onion minced
- 12 ounces button mushrooms sliced
- ¼ cup dried apricots chopped
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- 1 ½ teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place water, 1 cup broth, lentils and bay leaf in medium saucepot; heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Reduce to medium-low and simmer 20 to 25 minutes or until lentils are just tender, stirring occasionally. Strain lentils; remove bay leaf.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in large high-sided saute pan over medium-high heat. Add celery, garlic and onion; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add mushrooms; cook 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in apricots, cranberries, sage, rosemary, salt and remaining 1/2 cup broth. Heat to simmering; cook 2 minutes. Stir in lentils, cook 2 minutes or until lentils are heated through. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
Notes
- Taste your lentils frequently as they cook so that you’re sure to pull them from the heat when they’re tender, but not mushy and overcooked.
- For added texture, feel free to fold in some toasted nuts at the end. Pecans and walnuts are both great here.
