This year was the first of many Christmases where I will be featuring a lot more in the kitchen #vegetarianrights #noturkeynocry 

Normally my mother kicks everyone out complaining that we are in her way and delaying the dinner.. Not the most creative atmosphere. So I decided the only way the vegetarians would enjoy something other than boiled veggies would be to cook in advance. So here we go!

Veggie chestnut stuffing 2.0

I took inspiration from martha Stewart, but in the end I forgot some of the ingredients and was a few glasses of wine down so it's more mine than hers, so ha! 

Ingredients:

Makes enough for 2 and then leftovers 

- Chestnuts, about 20, roasted 

- one small yellow onion 

- hand full of sage, chopped 

- three slices of bread, crumbed 

- half a litre vegetable stock 

- new knobs of butter 

- salt and pepper to taste 

(What I forgot, but feel free to add)

- few sticks of celery 

- handful of parsley 

Throw all the dry in the food processor, then add your butter and stock, and cook away! Say 200 C for about 20 minutes should do the trick! And then keep in the fridge till ready to serve! 

Here she is just before the oven and the stock

This stuffing is so moist and tasty, perfect for a veggie christmas! #allcarbeverything
