Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 cups uncooked wild rice blend
  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 1 ½ cups dried cranberries
  • 1 cup raw pecans, chopped
  • Fresh thyme leaves
  • Fresh sage

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onions and celery until soft (about 5 minutes). Add apples, garlic, thyme, and salt; cook for another minute.
  2. Stir in white grape juice and vegetable broth; bring to a boil. Add wild rice blend and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until rice is tender (about 35 minutes). Then add rinsed quinoa; cover again and cook until fluffy (about 15 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat; mix in cranberries, pecans, parsley, and sage. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil. Transfer the stuffing mixture into the dish without compacting it. Bake for about 25–30 minutes until golden brown on top.
  5. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with remaining parsley before serving warm.
