It's free! Save it. It's the perfect Thanksgiving dish, but these 5 mouth-watering recipes are also great as side dishes or baked into vegetables any time of year. There is an unmistakable charm about stuffed dishes. Maybe it's the way their common elements are remarkably transformed simply by their combination or how certain vegetables' very shapes suggest interiors waiting to be filled. Whatever their allure, stuffings offer the cook, especially the vegetarian cook, many creative options for meals. All they require is the clever use of ingredients and seasonings. A stuffing's success depends largely on its texture, and that is determined by the base, which essentially binds the rest of the ingredients together. Cornbread, croutons and grains are three ideal stuffing bases. From there, the character of the dish starts to emerge as the seasonings are added. I begin most stuffings with the unbeatable combination of sauteed onions, garlic and celery. For extra flavor, try cooking the onions in two batches. Slowly brown the first batch to bring out the sweetness, then saute the second batch just until the onions are translucent but still a little crunchy. Other sauteed vegetables, such as bell peppers, leeks, shallots, mushrooms and/or carrots, can be added in addition to spices and herbs (fresh or dried). For Thanksgiving, sage is definitely the stuffing herb of choice, and it's especially great when combined with rosemary, thyme, oregano and cumin. | |
