Sage and white wine bring the taste of Thanksgiving to this unique stuffing that beats traditional white-bread stuffing for nutritional value with two varieties of whole grain and wholesome greens. Flavored with a perfect balance of aromatic vegetables, this dish will bring a rich and wonderful flavor to your holiday table.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale, stemmed and washed thoroughly
- 1½ cups red rice
- ½ cup quinoa
- 4 ½ cups low sodium vegetable stock
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup diced celery
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ¾ lb. cremini mushrooms, sliced
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- ½ tsp. salt
- Pepper to taste
- 1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh sage
- 1 Tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
Directions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add kale. Cook for 4 minutes and transfer the kale to a bowl of cold water. Drain and squeeze out water. Roughly chop and transfer to a large bowl.
- Place 3 cups of the stock or water in one medium saucepan with the red rice and the remaining 1 1/2 cups in another smaller saucepan with the quinoa and bring both to a boil. Cook according to package directions. When done, add both to the bowl with the kale.
- While the grains are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium in a large, heavy skillet. Cook the onion, stirring often, until the onion begins to soften (3-5 minutes). Add the celery and cook until the onion is completely tender (3-4 minutes). Stir in the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant (1 minute). Remove from the heat and transfer to the bowl with the kale.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Cook the mushrooms until lightly seared and tender (5-6 minutes). Add wine, salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring to deglaze the bottom of the pan, until all of the liquid has evaporated (1-2 minutes). Add to the grains. Stir in the remaining ingredients and combine well.
- If the stuffing isn’t warm enough, transfer to a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm in a 325ºF oven before serving (20-30 minutes).
