This vegan stuffing with leeks and kale has to be in your Thanksgiving table. Please? I don’t want you to miss these flavors, and when combined with the cranberry sauce and the mashed potatoes, and all the yumminesssssss of the night… Bam… the party suddenly lights up.
This vegan stuffing has all the goods in a good dish. It has tons of flavor, great texture (the bread is crispy and perfect), it is a bomb. I mean, when you have leeks, garlic, onions, butter (vegan butter), kale and bread nothing can go wrong right?
If you feel you need like an extra layer of flavor or texture, you could also add mushrooms. That won’t only add umaminess (probably it is not a word but you get the idea 😉) to the dish it will add an extra nutritional boost.
tips, tricks & other recipes:
- This vegan stuffing has a bit more steps than my usual recipes. READ all the recipe ingredients and instructions before you start.
- I use for this recipe dinosaur kale, but if you prefer the regular one, go ahead. It will taste equally delish.
- For the roux (the mixture of flour and butter) I use vegan Miyoko’s butter, which is outstanding.
- You can prepare the vegetables a day or two in advance. Keep them in the fridge in a tightly closed container. The day you will be eating this, add the bread.
- Here are other recipes with kale: Kale salad, kale pesto, white bean and kale quesadillas, kale and black beans Instapot soup, and many more in the recipe section.
