Preparation

Step 1

Cook quinoa according to package directions (Tip: Use extra vegetable stock instead of regular water for richer flavor)

Step 2

Heat oil in a large pot, and add garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. Add diced onions and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add diced celery and apples, stir to coat vegetables in oil. Brown slightly on medium heat for several minutes, add grated carrots and continue to cook, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Add vegetable stock, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover pan and simmer ingredients for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Add walnuts, mushrooms, quinoa, gluten free sausage (optional) and salt and pepper to taste. Cook on medium for an additional 10-12 minutes. If stuffing is on the dry side, cook covered. When mushrooms and walnuts are soft, the stuffing is done. Cook uncovered until any excess liquid is absorbed.

Step 5

Season with fresh thyme and serve!
