This easy vegan Thanksgiving and Christmas stuffing is choc-full of nutritious cabbage, kale, spinach, and mushrooms, and is versatile enough to be used for burgers, sausages, and a variety of other yummy dishes too!
Although I originally came up with this stuffing to go inside my stuffed seitan roast, I discovered that it makes great veggie burgers too. And sausages. And actually, it's really good, just pan-fried, and eaten on its own!
It's pretty versatile.
It's really easy to make too. Just prep the veggies, stir-fry with some garlic and olive oil, and add some breadcrumbs and seasoning.

This looks wonderful and perfect for making into burgers.... I'm going to try this out on my husband this month. Your blog has given me so much inspiration - thanks for making so much effort to hook all of your recipes up with Simple and in Season!

That picture is just amazing! I don't think I've ever seen a tastier looking red cabbage dish. Thank you so much for sharing with #CookOnceEatTwice! x

I know what you mean, it does sometimes have a tendency to look a bit dull, doesn't it? I wonder whether it's due to the acidity of the dish? I really love how vibrant this looks though... not that it keeps its looks once it's stuffed inside some seitan! xx

It does make really good burgers, Eb. I usually have to make extra because I always have to have 'just a little taste' as I'm making it! xx
