I'm sending this in again with the corrections for cloves, sage and thyme.
Also I forgot to include the mushroom gravy.
Here are a couple of receipes that I got from Jan Gordon of this list.
This the low fat vegetarian version of the stuffing I made for years the
full fat way. We all like it, even (especially) my omnivorous generation X
daughter and my macho cop son.
If you are fortunate to have family and friends to cook for this holiday,
give them the gift of healthy, life giving food! If you are like us, alone
the two of us this time, I hope you find a wonderful alternative. We are
going to a vegetarian Inn in the Pocono Mountains we learned about, they
will provide a feast on Thursday. We anticipate a wonderful weekend. My
best to you all and, THANKS!
THANKSGIVING DRESSING
1 pound whole wheat bread, cubed
1 pound mushrooms, sliced
1 large onion, sliced
1 head celery, sliced
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried sage
2 teaspoons dried thyme
black pepper
112 cup white wine
veggie broth or broth made from chicken flavor veggie broth mix 1
equivalent of non fat egg stuff, or if you are vegan - EnerG Egg Replacer,
equivalent to 1 egg
salt if you need it -
sautee all the veggies in white wine, I do it in batches, too much for my
biggest pan. Add herbs to the sauteeing veggies. Cook til veggies are
tender but not limp and mushies have let go of their juice.Mix veggies with
bread cubes. Add egg and enough broth to make it all quite moist but not
soupy, you know, 'ust right.
Bake covered about 30 minutes, uncover and bake 1 5 minutes more.
Serve with mushroom gravy.
This is good on anything. Can be vegan or dairy.
MUSHROOM GRAVY
Slice one pound mushrooms
slice one small onion
mince 2 cloves garlic
sautee all in about 1/3 cup white wine.
When veggies are soft, add about 2 - 3 tablespoons of flour, stir and cook
for a minute or two.
add about 2 cups of one of the following: veggie broth, chicken flavor
veggie broth, or nonfat milk, use dairy or lowfat soy , they both work.
Stir and heat til thickened.
If you want a creamier, near strogonav sauce, add about 1/3 cup yogurt but
add some of the sauce to the yogurt, then add back to sauce. Heat this all
together but do not boil.
If you want it darker, richer, add a bit of soy sauce or Bragg's Aminos.
