Scale
Vegetables
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped or thinly sliced
- 1 small head cauliflower, chopped
- 1 cup (8-oz.) package baby bella mushrooms, chopped
Herbs and Seasonings
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley
- 1 Tbsp. freshly chopped rosemary
- 1 Tbsp. freshly chopped sage (or 1 tsp. ground sage)
Other Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp. butter
- 1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add chopped onion, carrot, and celery, then sauté until soft and fragrant, about 7 to 8 minutes.
- Cook Cauliflower and Mushrooms: Add the chopped cauliflower and baby bella mushrooms to the skillet. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Continue cooking and stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add Herbs and Broth: Stir in freshly chopped parsley, rosemary, and sage until well combined. Pour in the low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth, then cook until the cauliflower is completely tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Notes
- Use low-sodium broth to better control the saltiness of the stuffing.
- Fresh herbs provide the best flavor, but dried herbs can be substituted in smaller amounts.
- To make this recipe vegan, substitute the butter with olive oil and use vegetable broth.
- This stuffing is best served warm and can be made ahead and reheated gently on the stovetop.
