Ingredients

  • 1 package of Neat Original Mix (or your preferred Neat variety)
  • 8 cups of cubed bread (choose vegan or gluten-free, if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 3-4 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2-3 carrots, diced
  • 1 cup of mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup of fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2-3 sprigs of fresh thyme (or 1-2 teaspoons of dried thyme)
  • 1-2 sprigs of fresh rosemary (or 1-2 teaspoons of dried rosemary)
  • 1 teaspoon of sage (dried or fresh, minced)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups of vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup of dried cranberries (optional)
  • 1/2 cup of chopped pecans

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant.
  3. Add the celery, carrots, and mushrooms (if using) to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables start to soften.
  4. Prepare neat crumbles, according to packaging.
  5. Add the neat crumbles to the skillet with the vegetables and cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing it to absorb the flavors.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread, fresh parsley, thyme, rosemary, sage, salt, and pepper.
  7. Transfer the neat crumbles and vegetable mixture from the skillet to the large mixing bowl with the bread. Mix everything together until well combined. If you’d like to add some extra texture and flavor, stir in the dried cranberries and chopped nuts at this stage.
  8. Slowly pour the vegetable broth over the mixture in the bowl. Mix thoroughly, ensuring that the bread soaks up the broth and everything is evenly moist. Add more broth if needed, but be careful not to make the stuffing too soggy.
  9. Transfer the stuffing mixture into a greased baking dish and cover it with aluminum foil.
  10. Bake the stuffing in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is crispy and golden.
