Author Notes
It happens every Christmas, more and more often: a friend or a family member has become vegetarian or even vegan. Of course, one can eat from the many goodies on Christmas lunch like baked potatoes that are always baked on a different tray than the turkey, several salads with mixed green and pomegranate, even the side dish apple puree. But our wonderful stuffing is certainly a no-no.Nut last year, I decided to make an extra vegetarian stuffing that it doesn’t even need a bird to be cooked in.
It can be modified for vegans do, if they omit the cream. It tastes equally good.
This special Christmas stuffing is also gluten-free if one can find mushrooms grown in gluten-free environment.
This special stuffing is excellent with past.
