Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Gluten-free bread cubes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 3 finely chopped Celery stalks
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 medium, grated Carrot
- 2 cups Gluten-free chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 large, beaten Eggs
- 1/4 cup, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried sage
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1/2 cup, dried Cranberries (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.
Stir in the grated carrot and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free bread cubes, sautéed vegetables, parsley, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Pour the broth over the bread mixture and gently stir. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
Add the beaten eggs to the mixture and stir until a dense dough-like consistency is achieved. If using, fold in the dried cranberries.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1.5-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, until the stuffing balls are golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free savory stuffing balls as a delicious side dish!
