What could be more perfect for the holiday table than stuffing with the distinctive, nutty flavor of quinoa set against the tart sweetness of dried cherries? If you're expecting guests or family members with gluten intolerance, quinoa stuffing is a delicious, not to mention healthier, alternative to bread stuffing. We understand if you're reluctant to move away from tradition on Thanksgiving, but don't worry: onions, celery, sage, and thyme come together to keep the flavors close to home.
What You Need:
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa
- 2 cups organic, gluten free chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 4 celery stalks, diced
- ½ cup dried cherries, coarsely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley, chopped
- ¼ cup toasted peanut-free pecans or walnuts, chopped (optional)
