The Ultimate Apple And Chestnut Vegan Stuffing
This classic vegan stuffing recipe is the perfect addition to any roast. The stuffing is salty and savoury, with a hint of caramelised sweetness from the apples. Delicious.
Ingredients
- 120 g Cooked Whole Chestnuts
- 150 g Chestnut Mushrooms
- 1 Medium Granny Smith Apples peeled, core removed and diced into 1cm cubes
- 150 g Butternut Squash peeled and diced into 1cm cubes
- 1/2 Medium Onion peeled and finely diced
- 50 g Breadcrumbs
- 50 g Gram Flour
- 50 ml Olive Oil
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200˚c/390˚f.
- Place the mushrooms into a food processor. Pulse until the mushrooms are shredded. Don't over process into a paste.
- Remove the mushrooms and add the chestnuts to the processor. Blitz until them resemble chunky breadcrumbs. Again, be careful not to over process into a paste. You want some texture to the stuffing!
- Tip the processed chestnuts and mushrooms into a large mixing bowl. Tip in the rest of the stuffing ingredients and stir until everything is evenly combined. At this point the stuffing should be malleable and a little sticky.
- Line a deep baking tin with greaseproof paper. Spoon in the stuffing mixture. Lightly compress the stuffing into the tin using your hands, then place the tin into your pre-heated oven and cook for 40 minutes.
- When the stuffing has about 5 minutes left brush the top of the stuffing with a little olive oil. Sprinkle the stuffing with some more salt and return to the oven for its final 5 minutes.
