Stuffing recipe

[PrettyCandlesAndTinselToo]

I'm doing lamb for Xmas dinner, and I need a stuffing for it. The slightly spicy one we normally do is utterly delicious, but the dc don't like it.

I can't find any other recipe that doesn't include as a significant ingredient:

Sausagemeat or ham - we don't eat pork
Mushrooms or peppers - the dc hate
Cheese - we're dairy-free

Any suggestions? I don't make stuffing often enough to know how to wing it and invent one myself.

Apricots, raisins and flaked almonds with mint?

But what would hold it together? Doesn't it need something starchy?

4merly's idea sounds great

I think you need to make it on a breadcrumb base, so (making this up a bit) I would:

1. take about 300g of breadcrumbs

2 chop up a generous bunch of flat leaf parsley and a small one of mint 3 chop up a handful of apricots and a handful of raisins and about 100g flaked almonds

1. combine all with two eggs and about 150 g butter
2. Season with salt and pepper- some spices would be nice but no need if the children don't like them

You could probably also make this work usung rice as the starch; but I have never tried it

Ooooh; and I might put in a bit of lemon zest and juice as well

add breadcrumbs and a chopped fried onion. Normally I would bind with an egg but I don't know what you could use instead if you are dairy free.

sorry - crossposted.

this is a nice recipe - I reckon breadcrumbs would work instead of the quinoa

Mmm sounds good!

The stuffing I normally make is on a rice base, which works well. I read somewhere about using a mixture of breadcrumbs and porridge oats. I might try that, or perhaps just breadcrumbs. Should they be white bread?

Eggs are fine, they're not dairy . Definitely include fried onions.

I couldn't use butter, but I read somewhere about using suet instead. I wonder which would be better, suet or oil.

How would it be if I used dried cranberries and chestnut purée as well? Do you think that would work?

With lamb I do rice, onions, apricots and cranberries.
