Ingredients
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil1 teaspoon Poultry Seasoning (salt free preferred)1 large Onion5 cloves garlic, minced1/2 cup celery, chopped 4 cups cooked cooked Barley (or grain of choice, such as brown rice, Quinoa, etc.)1 cup dried cranberries (may substitute dried cherries or mix both for a total of 1 cup)1 cup Pecans1/2-1 Tbsp dried parsley flakes1/2-1 Tbsp ground Thyme1/2-1 Tbsp ground SagePinch of nutmeg1/2-1 cup vegan vegetable broth mixed with 1-2 Tbsp VEGAN soy sauce (preferably a soy-free, low salt substitute)saltpepper
Cook Barley first according to package directions to yield 4 cups cooked, (about 2 cups before cooking), the cooking of the barley accounts for long prep time. If the barley is leftover from another meal, the prep time is about 5-10 minutes.
1. Saute onion, garlic, and celery with poultry seasoning, and a small pinch of salt and pepper, saute until onions caramelize.
2. Add Barley, pecans, parsley, thyme, sage, and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, adding broth as needed to prevent burning and achieve the desired "stuffing" texture.
3. Add cranberries or cherries at end of cooking.
4. Taste, and add more salt and pepper, or other seasonings if desired.
Vegans: serve as a main dish with side dishes of your choice, I recommend steamed vegetables, and a salad topped with chickpeas.
Others: Use as a side dish with your favorite meal, great on Thanksgiving instead of bread stuffing!
