Easy Gluten-Free Stuffing Recipe with Tart Cherries & Macadamia Nuts

🧂 Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons vegan butter

  i.e. Earth Balance
• 1 small onion
• 2/3 cup macadamia nuts
• 10 ounces plain gluten-free stuffing mix

  or toasted/dry gluten-free bread cubes
• 1/2 cup dried tart cherries
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 350 F.
• 2 Prep ingredients: Melt butter in a microwave safe dish. Finely chop onion. Chop
  macadamia nuts. Chop rosemary.
• 3 Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of melted butter and
  chopped onions and saute for 1 minute to soften. Next, add the chopped macadamia
  nuts to the skillet and toast, constantly stirring, for 2 minutes.
• 4 Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the stuffing mix, tart cherries, and
  herbs.
• 5 Add the broth and stir well to combine the gluten-free bread stuffing mixture.
  Taste and add salt, pepper, and additional herbs if needed.
• 6 Spread the stuffing mixture in a single layer in the cast iron pan. Cover with
  aluminum foil and bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes. If you like your stuffing
  crispy on top, remove the foil after 15 minutes and bake an additional 5-10
  minutes or until golden brown. Note: If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, add
  the stuffing to a prepared baking dish with cooking spray and bake per the above
  instructions.
• 7 Serve immediately. Or, go ahead and store it in an airtight container in the
  refrigerator for up to three days. Note: You may need to add additional
  vegetable broth before reheating if you prefer a moister stuffing.
