Vegan Dressing with Barley

[heart_this] · Nov 23, 2014 · 6 Comments

Vegan-Dressing1

Three days left till Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving for us is always at my brother’s house. he and my sister-in-law prepare the main and a few sides, everyone else shows up with a side or two.

If you’re like me and you’re still trying to decide what to make to please the crowd, especially if you have vegetarians or vegans in the crowd, you may want to put this recipe on your list. You’ll please the vegetarians, vegans and maybe a few turkey eaters as well.

In our crowd, I’m the vegetarian who doesn’t eat meat. I have to pass on eating dressing, because it’s usually prepared with chicken stock and sometimes it has chicken parts added.

This year I’m bring this vegan dressing or is it stuffing? Oh I don’t know. I’m from the south, so I’ll call it dressing.  Stuffing is what I’ll be doing, stuffing this wonderful hearty goodness into my mouth.

What’s makes it hearty?

A mix of multigrain and ciabatta baguette and hearty barley.

Baguettes

I think barley is the forgotten grain, most people tend to think of soup when it’s mentioned. But you can use if for so much more than a pot of soup. The addition of barley adds fiber and protein and makes this dressing much more filling.

Serving-Vegan-Dressing-

Moist on the inside, crisp on the outside, hearty, wholesome and so satisfying!

Serve it with my Cranberry Pear Chutney and you may not have any leftovers for Black Friday or maybe Black Thursday Night.

    What incredible photos you took of stuffing– something notoriously difficult to capture in a good light! It looks amazing. I can’t have gluten anymore– but barley used to be one of my favorite grains. So chewy! My grandma used to always give us barley soup as kids, and we loved it. I am actually posting my grandma’s stuffing recipe this year– revamped with gluten free cornbread 🙂 Her cornbread stuffing is a favorite in our family.

      The chewy is what I like about barley, but I’ll have to check out your gluten free version.
      Thanks for visiting and thanks for the comment about my photos.

    This looks so delish, I’m going to look for some gluten free breads to make this with. Perhaps cornbread and something else. It looks so delish and my daughter, who is vegetarian, will be so happy to have stuffing again!

      Thanks Nikki, Udis is a good brand of gluten-free bread to use in recipes like this one to make it gluten-free. Good luck.
