Naturally Gluten-Free Meals

Wild Rice, Sausage, and Apple Stuffing

Serves 8-12 people

INGREDIENTS

1 Cup Celery, finely diced

1 Cup Onion, finely diced

4 Tbls Butter

1 Lb Breakfast Sausage

2 Cups Apple, peeled, chopped

1 Cup Water

½ Cup Parsley, finely chopped

1 ½ Tbls fresh thyme, chopped

1 ½ Tbls Fresh Sage, chopped

Pink Sea Salt & White Pepper, to taste

¼ Tsp red pepper flake

4 Cups Chicken Broth or Stock

1 Cup Brown Rice

1 Cup Wild Rice

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 375°F

In a large pot, over medium-high heat, cook the celery and onion in the butter for about 5 minutes. Add the sausage, breaking it up, and cook until the sausage is no longer pink, about another 5 minutes. When the sausage is done, remove the skillet from the heat and add ½ cup of the parsley and all the remaining ingredients except for the broth and rice. Mix everything well.

In a large baking dish combine the chicken stock, brown rice, and wild rice and spread out evenly on the bottom of the dish. Carefully add the sausage mixture to the baking dish, mix everything gently and cover the dish with foil, sealing it up tightly. Carefully transfer the covered pan to the oven and bake 1 hour or until the rice is tender. When ready to serve garnish with the remaining chopped parsley and enjoy.

NOTE: Always read labels carefully
