DIRECTIONSstuffing2

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large food processor, pulse your onion, celery, carrots and garlic. Sautee the vegetable mix in a large pan with 2 Tbsps of butter until golden and softened.

After the vegetables are sautéed, put your cauliflower, mushrooms, almonds, herbs and spices through the food processor. You can do this in batches if your processor isn’t big enough.

Whisk together the broth and eggs. Then mix with your vegetable stuffing.

Coat your baking dish using the remaining butter. Pour in stuffing mix. Cover with foil. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes.

If you’d like, feel free to top your stuffing during the last 15 minutes with chopped nuts, cheese, or more moringa!
