We had our work Christmas party this week, and everyone had to sign up to bring an item. Since the party was at lunch time and we only have one microwave (that’s probably older than me) to heat things in, I decided to make something in my slow cooker.
I decided to make vegetarian dressing. I adapted my dressing from this recipe.
Ingredients:
2 cups chopped onions
1 1/2 cups diced celery
1 cup diced apple
Olive oil for sauteeing
1 tablespoon dried sage
1 tablespoon marjoram
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
12 cups of toasted whole wheat bread, cubed (this is roughly 12 slices of bread)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 cups of vegetable stock
Directions:
Sautee the onions, apple and celery in olive oil over medium heat until the onion is translucent. While the vegetables are cooking start toasting the bread and cutting it into cubes with a bread knife.
When the veggies are done put them in a large mixing bowl. Add all of the seasonings and bread cubes and mix to combine. Add the vegetable stock and mix it again. When it is mixed well transfer it to your slow cooker.
Cook on high for 1 hour then reduce to low for 2-3 hours. Make sure to stir it every hour.
Overall, I thought it was just okay. It didn’t have as much flavor as I was hoping for. Maybe next time I’ll try it with chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.
