Gluten Free Sage and Onion Stuffing
This gluten free sage and onion stuffing is the perfect accompaniment to a Sunday roast. Homemade gluten free stuffing is every bit as good as a traditional recipe. It's very easy to make and will taste much nicer than stuffing from a packet.
Ingredients
- 1 onion peeled and finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 10 g butter
- 1 clove garlic peeled and very finely chopped or crushed
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage finely chopped, or use 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves optional, or use dried
- 150 g gluten free bread approx 3 large slices
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg beaten
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a pan over a medium heat. Add the chopped onions and fry for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. They should be soft and golden.
- Meanwhile, make the breadcrumbs. Trim the crusts from the bread and break into pieces. Blitz in the food processor or crumble into crumbs with your fingers. If you like you can leave the crumbs a little chunkier for extra crispiness when the stuffing is baked.
- Add the herbs, seasoning and garlic to the pan and fry for a couple of minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Stir the breadcrumbs into the pan and mix well. Add the beaten egg and mix again.
- Spoon the stuffing into a greased baking dish. Or if you prefer, you can roll it into 8 balls.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 190 degrees (170 fan) for 20 minutes until golden and crisp on the top.
Notes
- If you want a vegan stuffing, omit the butter (or you can use a small knob of vegan butter if you prefer). Omit the egg and add a couple of tablespoons of vegetable stock in its place.
- You can add extra vegetables such as chopped celery or leek at the same time as the onions if liked.
- If you want to serve the stuffing with roast pork, add a chopped apple and fry with the onions.
