Serves: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 6 cups cubed dairy-free pumpkin bread (gluten-free, if needed)
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 cup dairy-free buttery spread or sticks
- 2 cups chopped red onion
- 3 cups sliced crimini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 tablespoons vegetable broth, or as needed
- ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- ½ cup dried cranberries (optional)
Instructions
- Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet, and let them dry overnight. Or you can bake them in a 250ºF oven until dry, about 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 375ºF and grease a 2-quart baking dish.
- Melt the buttery spread in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the celery and onion and saute for about 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute for about 8 minutes, or until tender. Season with the rosemary, tarragon, chives, parsley, salt, and pepper. Fold in bread cubes, walnuts (if using), and cranberries (if using). Add enough broth to moisten the bread.
- Transfer the bread mixture to your prepared dish and cover it with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 10 minutes, or until the top is crisp.
- Let cool briefly, but serve warm.
