Print Friendly

“Cook me, freeze me, reheat me and I will be as delicious as if you had just cooked me.  I never, ever get soggy!”

Serves: Approximately 8-10 (As A Side)

Prep Time: Approx. 20 mins

Cooking time: Approx. 35 minutes if using previously cooked and frozen grain, or Approx. 70 minutes if cooking the grain while preparing the stuffing.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ medium sweet potatoes peeled and cubed. (Small cubes)
  • 1 ½ cups diced celery
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 1 10-ounce pack baby Bella mushrooms chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic finely minced (or use a garlic press)
  • 2 tablespoon fresh sage chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups cooked Wondergrain Pearled Sorghum (May use cooked Whole Grain) (See tip #3)
  • ¾ cup toasted chopped pecans (See tip #2
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)
  • Pinch crushed red peppers (to taste or feel free to omit)
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • ⅓ cup chicken or vegetable broth

 Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°
  2. Place raw pecans in a Ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to break them up into smaller pieces. Roast in a sauté pan/skillet over a medium heat for approximately 1-2 minutes until nuts start to change color (always tossing the nuts in the pan to avoid burning).  Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes, celery, onion, mushrooms, garlic, rosemary and sage. Coat evenly with olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.  Spread out evenly onto a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, turning the mixture once halfway through.
  4. Mix the roasted vegetables and cooked Wondergrain in a greased oven-safe dish.
  5. Toss in your toasted pecans and mix to combine. Add: salt, pepper, red pepper flakes (optional), cranberries and broth. Mix well.
  6. Bake at 375°F for 15 minutes, then broil under high heat until the top becomes golden brown. Serve immediately!

TIPS:

  • For a moist stuffing, add more broth to your desired taste before baking in the oven.
  • If using frozen or refrigerated Wondergrain, remember warm up the grain prior to mixing with the dish.
  • If cooking the grain at the same time as preparing the stuffing, start cooking Wondergrain according to directions on the package or on our website BEFORE chopping the vegetables. For more flavor, use vegetable or chicken broth instead of water.
  • Always keep cooked Wondergrain in your freezer and warm up as needed for your salads, stir-fries, and pretty much any dish. If grain is cooked ahead of time and frozen or refrigerated, reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop to loosen up the grain. Add some moisture or olive oil or butter if a bit dry to your taste. Fluff up with a fork. Grain will not be soggy.
