Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (optional)
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 cups stale bread, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 1 pound)
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and celery and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add mushrooms (if using) and cook until tender, about 5 minutes more.
- Stir in sage, thyme, pepper, and salt. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes and the cooked vegetable mixture. Pour in the vegetable broth and stir gently until the bread is moistened.
- Stir in the fresh parsley.
- Transfer the stuffing mixture to a 9×13 inch baking dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. For a crispier top, you can broil for the last few minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. Serve hot.
Notes
- Use day-old bread for the best texture.
- You can add other vegetables like carrots or bell peppers.
- For a richer flavor, use homemade vegetable broth.
