SATIATED Saturdays: Breadless Stuffing!

Yes. Finally, we have lift-off! Here is the recipe for my newly-created Breadless Stuffing. Please note: the proportions are mostly 'to taste,' so you will have to play with the measurements.

You will need the following equipment: chopping board; sharp knife; glass medium-sized mixing bowl--or any bowl of your choosing; measuring cups.

You will need the following ingredients:  4 tablespoons butter; 1 apple (I used a Fuji); one bunch of scallions; one package, tempeh (any kind); almond meal; raw oats (as for hot cereal, but plain only); salt; pepper; dill; parsley; mushrooms (optional).

Directions:  Microwave butter in a microwave-safe ceramic ramekin or other container until melted. Chop up apple, scallions (cut off ends) and 1/2 package to whole package of tempeh (depending upon number being fed) into very small quarter-to-half-inch cubes, and place cubes in mixing bowl. Add roughly 1/3 to 1/2 cup almond meal, plus 1-2 cups oats (depending upon number being fed). Add in butter, as well as salt, pepper and dill to taste. Chop up parsley very fine, and add this last. Stir entire mixture vigorously.

Notes: You should have more than enough to fill a large chicken or turkey. You can reserve the rest and either cook in a saucepan, or refrigerate until you are ready to use. This stuff also makes a great potato-free "hash" to go with eggs--simply saute a bit of the stuffing alongside the eggs in a saucepan. For a slightly different flavor, add diced fresh mushrooms (any kind) to the mix.
