A delicious sweet and savory vegetarian that's fruity, nutty, and fabulously festive for the holidays or year round. Great with turkey, pork or fish for non-vegetarians too

Directions for Sweet and Savory Vegetarian Stuffing

1
Saute Onions, Garlic, Mushrooms
Slice garlic cloves and mushrooms and dice onions. Saute lightly in butter, margarine or flavorful oil like walnut oil or peanut oil until golden brown.
2
Combine Dry Ingredients, Vegetables, Fruits, Nuts and Seasonings
Add the seasonings, vegetables, fruits and nuts to the corn bread and bread stuffing.
3
Add Apple Cider, Wine and Honey and Melted Butter
Mix in the apple cider, white wine, honey and melted butter. Add more apple cider if you like a lighter, moister stuffing. Add more bread or cornbread stuffing or bread crumbs for a denser stuffing.
4
Place in a large flat baking or roasting dish
Place stuffing loosely and evenly in a large flat baking or roasting dish, ideally made of glass or ceramics. Cover with tin foil.
5
Bake In Pre-Heated 350 Degree Oven
Place covered stuffing in a pre-heated 350 degree oven and bake for 40 minutes. Check after 30 minutes and taste. Add more cider if needed. Stuffing is ready when it is warm moist and slightly steaming.
