Total time: 1 h 10 min
Yield: 8 servings
Cuisine: Traditional American
Ingredients: 1 loaf of day-old whole wheat bread, cubed; 1 cup pine nuts; 1 large onion, chopped; 3 stalks of celery, diced; 2 cloves of garlic, minced; 1/2 cup dried cranberries; 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; 1 teaspoon dried sage; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; 2 cups vegetable broth; 1/4 cup unsalted butter

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts until they are lightly browned and fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove the pine nuts from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and garlic, cooking until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread, toasted pine nuts, sautéed vegetables, dried cranberries, parsley, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Gently toss everything together until well mixed.
Slowly pour the vegetable broth over the bread mixture, stirring gently to ensure that the liquid is evenly distributed.
Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Once the stuffing is cooked through and nicely browned, remove it from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
