Vegan Chestnut Stuffing

Ingredients

Cooking instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/Fan 170°C/Gas 5. Grease an ovenproof dish or small roasting tray with oil.
  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the onions, garlic and mushrooms and cook over a medium heat for 5-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and any excess liquid has evaporated. Transfer to a food processor and set aside.
  3. Roughly chop the herbs and add to the food processor with the chestnuts and bread. Season and blitz until the mixture just comes together.
  4. Use wet hands to shape the mixture into 12 balls and place in a baking dish. Cook for 30-40 minutes until the stuffing is browned and crisp.

 

Tips: The stuffing mixture can also be baked as one single dish if preferred; follow the recipe as above but press the mixture into the greased dish instead of rolling into balls in step 4. Bake as above then slice into portions to serve.
