Celery Stuffing
A vegetarian-friendly stuffing that goes well with chicken or turkey.- Serves:
- 6-8
- Preparation Time:
- 10 minutes
- Cooking Time:
- 20 minutes, plus roasting with the bird
Ingredients:
125g butter
250g chopped onion
250g chopped celery
350g white breadcrumbs
Zest & juice of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 tablespoon chopped thyme (preferably fresh)
2 small eggs
Seasoning
Instructions
Melt the butter in a frying pan and add the onion and celery. Cook over a low heat to soften (without browning) for 20 mins. Allow to cool slightly and mix in the remaining ingredients.
Lightly stuff the neck of the turkey (the mixture will swell during cooking).
Alternatives
If you like garlic, add a crushed clove or two while cooking the onion and celery.
You can also add a handful of pine-nuts or chopped hazelnuts at the pre-cooking stage.
Replace the lemon juice (still add the zest) with a couple of tablespoons of sherry for a more festive flavour.
