Last Thursday, I attended a cooking class at Healthy Home Market with my 2 favorite RAW VEGAN chefs in town – Rian and Ami. The theme of the evening was Thanksgiving of course! My favorite dish was this raw stuffing… The crunch of the pecans and savory cauliflower, celery, onions and carrots is just dynamite! Everyone one in the class oooooed and awwwwed all over this dish. I was really really impressed with it – so impressed that I had to share it with all of you!

If you have never taken one of these classes at HHM – I highly recommend it – I learn something new every time and I always leave with a pretty full belly!

$5 bucks for a healthy & nutritious cooking class is an absolute steal, don’t you think? This just might be one of the best kept secrets in town…Oh no… If the next class gets crowded because I let the cat out of the bag – Nobody better take my seat in the front row. I mean it.

    1. Were the pecans soggy? Did you dry them out before mixing everything together? Also, where did you get truffle oil? And did you serve warm or cold?

  4. Anything by Sarma I will try. Adding this to my vegan Tgiving menu! Was at Pure Food and Wine last Friday and I cannot stop thinking about the sesame salad! Also, sorry, going to try and steal your front seat, def going to these classes. Vegan, not raw but want to start incorporating more!

  5. Hi Vani,

    This looks amazing!! The recipe calls for pecans soaked for 2 hours. I have seen recipes for soaked pecans that call for them to be placed in a low temp oven for 12-24 hours after soaking. Is this necessary for this recipe?

    thanks!!!

  6. That is my question too. After soaking the pecans, do they need to be dehydrated? If not, it seems they would be soggy????

    Reply

  7. Would like to know more about soaking pecans also…I would think they would get mushy after soaking but I have never soaked pecans…

    Reply

  8. I was reading elsewhere that truffle oil is made with petroleum and olive oil… that it is not made from truffles and gives a metallic aftertaste???
    Is there another, not fake, great tasting, alternative ingredient to truffle oil?
    And also wondering about drying out the soaked pecans?

  9. I live in Charlotte too and love HHM. Props go to you for featuring their cooking classes and for having mentioned them previously. It’s awesome to see you showcasing a local Charlotte mart. I always try to tell others about them, but they often want Eath Fare or Whole Foods, and I’m not sure why! I occasionally shop at EF or WF but have found that HHM has the best prices. They may be smaller, but if you’re really sticking to the truly healthy foods, you really should not need a huge store to find everything you need!

  10. This is the yummiest guilt-free stuffing I have ever tasted. 40 pounds lighter and keeping it off, love you Food Babe!

  11. I’ve made this stuffing the last 2 years, and it’s been a great hit!! The pecans do not need to go in the oven. The consistency after soaking is just perfect.
    I like to add a little bit of chopped sage and thyme as well, but the most important thing, and you have to try this, is adding pomegranate seeds before serving!! The color cheers up the look of the dish and the flavor is just delicious. Happy Thanksgiving!!

  12. I wouldn’t make this unless I could substitute most of the pecans. That’s a lot of pecans and they are expensive. They should be mindful of lower income people when creating recipes.

The bread is one of the most important ingredients in the stuffing. This is the base; it's what gives the stuffing structure, and it plays a big role in determining the texture. While you can use almost any bread — cornbread, bagels, or even frozen waffles — to make stuffing, it needs to be dried or “staled” first.

How do you keep stuffing moist when cooking? ›
