This Pork Stuffing is comforting, delicious & gluten-free! Whether you can do gluten or not, you’ll want to try this one out!
This yummy dish is full of nutrients, including zinc, selenium & Vitamin A, all critical for a healthy immune system. And pork is a great source of B vitamins & protein, which keeps our energy & mood up. Sweet potatoes are rich in fiber which helps to stabilize our blood sugar, feed our good gut bugs & promote regular elimination!
I make a batch of this every Christmas to serve as a side for roasted turkey or chicken. This is also great as a meal on its own. Simply reheat & add a green salad!
Pork Stuffing is great as both a side or as a main!
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Toss sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp of oil & ½ tsp of salt.
Spread the potatoes on a roasting pan & bake until tender, about 20 minutes.
While they cook, heat the rest of the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the celery, onions, ½ tsp salt & pepper. Cook until the veggies are soft & beginning to brown, about 10 min.
Add the pork & cook until browned.
Then add the wine & cook until it evaporates.
Transfer the cooked sweet potatoes & pork mixture to a large bowl.
Turn the oven down to 375 degrees.
Add the eggs, broth, walnuts & raisins to the bowl & mix well.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish, cover with foil & bake for 20 min. Remove the foil & bake another 20-30 minutes, until golden.
Serve as a side with your roasted turkey or chicken, or as a meal on its own. This is great with my Low-Carb Gravy & Spiced Low Carb Cranberry Sauce.
Ingredients
1lb ground pork*
2 large eggs, beaten*
3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled & diced
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 celery stalks, finely chopped
1 medium onion, diced
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup dry white wine (optional)
¼ cup raisins
½ cup toasted walnuts
2 tbsp fresh sage, chopped
1 tsp sea salt
Black pepper to taste
Notes
*Make it more nutrient dense & flavourful - Source pasture-raised pork & eggs to make this meal extra tasty & nutritious! Studies continually show that pasture-raised animals & their products contain more nutrients than the conventional equivalent. You can literally taste the difference!
Leftovers - This makes a great main, as well as a side. I like to have it with a green salad with my One Minute Dressing.
