No need to feel stuffed, just content and satisfied, when you make this easily adaptable, wholesome and hearty stuffing with sprouted bread! Three simple variations can be prepared together in a pinch. Start with a base of smooth Silver Hills Sprouted Hemptation Bread, baked to perfection with powerful, nutty hulled hemp seeds, offering high fibre, the perfect blend of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and magnesium. Mix in shallots, garlic, vegetable stock and sage for an aromatic dressing rich in flavor and homey comfort. For a little sweet tanginess and crunch, add antioxidant laden roasted pecans and fibre-rich dried cranberries. Mix in steamed spinach, packed with readily absorbable nutrients, and mineral-dense crimini mushrooms for savoury umami deliciousness. Tempt every taste bud, adding options to the table without sacrificing time.
