Quinoa Stuffing

This gluten-free stuffing has a nutty flavour and toothsome texture that makes a nice change from breadcrumbs. This recipe makes enough for a turkey, so for a chicken you'll only need half as much. If stuffing a roast turkey, increase the cook time by 30 minutes and insert a cooking thermometer into the centre of the stuffing to make sure it reaches 75˚C/170˚F. If you've got vegetarian guests cook the stuffing separately from the turkey so they can have some too.

Serves:
10-12
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 cups quinoa
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 4 eggs
  • finely grated zest of 1 lemon
  • finely grated zest of 1 orange
  • 1 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
  • ½ cup pine nuts, toasted
  • ½ cup finely chopped parsley leaves
  • 2 tbsp chopped thyme leaves or 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 tsp finely chopped rosemary leaves or ½ tsp dried rosemary
  • salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Place water and quinoa in a pot. Cover, bring to a boil and cook until the quinoa is tender and water is just absorbed (about 10 minutes).

While the quinoa is cooking, heat oil in a frypan and cook onions and garlic over a medium-low heat until softened but not browned (about 8 minutes). Transfer to a large bowl with cooked quinoa and all remaining ingredients and mix to combine. The stuffing can be prepared ahead to this point and chilled for up to 48 hours until needed.

When ready to cook, preheat oven to 180°C/350°F fanbake. Shape the stuffing into a log on a sheet of oiled tin foil, roll up tightly and bake on an oven tray until firm when pressed (about 45 minutes). Alternatively, stuff into turkey cavity just before cooking and add an extra 30 minutes to the cooking time for an unstuffed turkey.
