Tips and Suggestions
1. Toast the Bread First: Toasted bread cubes absorb the seasoned broth better. This ensures the flavors become evenly distributed and also prevents the stuffing from becoming soggy.
2. Balance with Dried Fruits: Adding additional dried fruits like cranberries helps to balance the savory flavors. This savory and sweet contrast enhances the overall flavor of the dish.
3. Make it Vegan: To make this vegetarian stuffing vegan, simply substitute plant-based butter and ensure your Soyrizo is vegan.
