Pear, Mushroom and Pomegranate Stuffing

This vibrant pear, mushroom and pomegranate stuffing is a sophisticated, dairy-free twist on a classic side dish. Combining the earthy depth of cremini mushrooms with the natural sweetness of orchard fruit and prunes, it offers a wonderful contrast of flavours. The addition of pomegranate juice provides a subtle tartness and a beautiful ruby hue, making it a standout feature for any autumnal or winter spread.

Ideal for those seeking a lighter, fruit-forward alternative to traditional meat-based stuffings, this recipe fits perfectly into a wholesome Sunday roast or a festive feast. The whole-wheat baguette absorbs the savoury herb-infused broth, ensuring a moist texture that pairs excellently with roasted poultry or root vegetables. It is a simple yet elegant way to bring seasonal produce to your dinner table.

How to make Pear, Mushroom and Pomegranate Stuffing

Heat oven to 177°C. Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Cook mushrooms, celery, sage and thyme, stirring often, until mushrooms and celery soften, 6 to 8 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl; add baguette cubes, pear, prunes, broth and juice. Mix well and let rest until bread absorbs liquid. Transfer to an 8" x 8" baking dish; cover with foil.
