Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 Celery stalks, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh sage, finely chopped
- 1.5 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Dried cranberries or raisins (optional)
- 0.25 cups Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, parsley, thyme, and sage, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Add the rolled oats to the skillet and stir to combine evenly with the vegetables and herbs.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring well to ensure the oats absorb the liquid evenly. Reduce the heat to low.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir occasionally and cook for 7-10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and achieves your desired consistency.
If desired, fold in dried cranberries or raisins and chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the stuffing cool slightly before using it to stuff your poultry or serving as a side dish.
