Great HEAL Recipes

Dressing

Celery, onion, and raisins add nutrient-density and make this recipe more HEAL-icious!

Serves 6-8

• 6 Tbsp butter 
• 2 ribs celery, finely chopped
• 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
• ½ cup raisins (optional) **soak one to two hours in hot water until they plump up, then drain water** 
• 2 cups water
• 12 to 14 ounces store-bought stuffing mix, such as Stove Top (the exact amount will vary by brand)
• aluminum foil

Instructions:

1. Melt the butter in a 6-quart saucepan over medium heat.  Add the celery and onion and cook for 5 minutes or until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
2. Add the water to the saucepan and heat to a boil.  Stir in raisins.
3.  Add the stuffing, stir until moist, and remove from the heat. Place a cover on the pot and let sit for 5 minutes. 
4. Fluff the stuffing mixture and spoon into a large baking dish. Cover the baking dish to keep it from drying out.
