Recipe Build A Better Stuffing with Sprouted Bread
December 08, 2016
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.
