I know that this is prolly heresy, but does anyone know of a really decent Veggie Stuffing mix, that I can cook, & then freeze for the big day ? Other Daughter will be at BiL’s over Christmas, & her husband & daughter are Moslems, so I will need to get food cooked & frozen next weekend.
A Pitcher to help your thoughts…

Breadcrumbs and lemon juice and butter, with herbs to taste, Carinthia. It greatly improves the bird as well; the lemon-juice lightens it.

That sounds nice, Fishy
Have Bookmarked it, & I too would add garlic
I will have a think about it, as I will have to fart about with it at BiL’s, where the supplies/equipment are limited in the sense that he buys lots of Ready Meals, & I don’t…
I suppose I am thinking of traditional Sage & Onion ,possibly a packet, enlivened with the addition of fresh lemon & garlic, so that it tastes like ornery stuffing, but has no pork products innit

You are cooking a meal which you are not going to eat? On Christmas Day?

No, I am cooking it before Christmas Day,next weekend in fact, & freezing it.
All BiL will have to do, is defrost it the day before, & then heat it up .
I will, no doubt, be cooking what The Lad fancies, which will not be Christmas Dinner, & taking it with me in the evening. We will, if previous years are anything to go by, enjoy ourselves eating, drinking & talking

Chestnuts and/or mushrooms more than make up for a lack of meat, Carinthia. Tesco have bags of Merchant Gourmet cooked chestnuts at half price. Maybe something like this:
Just back from M’s. A trip down memory lane.

I would love that stuffing, but BiL is the only one of his lot who likes mushrooms.
I will deffo get some of the chestnuts though
My Mother used to roast them & put them in the turkey soup on Boxing Day
