Paleo stuffing

Paleo stuffing is a low carbohydrate / keto friendly food item.

Overview

Paleo Stuffing is a grain-free adaptation of the traditional side dish, made to be compliant with the Paleo diet. It utilizes almond bread or another grain-free bread as its base, providing a familiar texture and taste without the grains.

Ingredients

• 4 cups of grain-free bread, cubed (like almond bread or coconut bread)
• 1 cup celery, finely chopped
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup of ghee or clarified butter
• 1 tsp dried rosemary
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp sage
• 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: 1/2 cup dried cranberries or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large skillet, melt the ghee over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, sautéing until translucent.
3. Add the garlic, rosemary, thyme, and sage to the skillet and stir for a minute until fragrant.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread with the skillet mixture. Toss to combine.
5. Slowly pour the broth over the bread mixture, ensuring that the bread absorbs the liquid but doesn't become too soggy.
6. Season with salt and pepper, and mix in optional ingredients if desired.
7. Transfer the stuffing mixture to a baking dish and spread out evenly.
8. Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes. For a crispier top, uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve alongside roasted meats like turkey or chicken.
• Pairs well with Cranberry Sauce and Gravy.
