Less traditionally, you can make a great dressing with no bread at all. Try this quick-and-simple skillet recipe.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 crisp, tart apple
  • 2 large stalks celery
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 cup shelled walnuts
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt or Vege-Sal
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning

Instructions

  1. Start the butter melting in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat.
  2. Quarter the apple and trim out the core, whack each quarter into two pieces (making eighths), and drop them in your food processor with the S-blade in place. Whack each stalk of celery into 4-5 big chunks, and throw them in, too. Quarter the onion, peel, and throw it in, and then dump in the walnuts. Pulse the food processor until everything’s a medium consistency.
  3. Dump this mixture, along with the mushrooms, into the butter in the skillet, turn the heat up to medium-high, and saute everything for a minute or two, stirring. Then cover it, and let it cook for 10 minutes, uncovering every 3 minutes or so to stir the whole thing again.
  4. Stir in the salt and poultry seasoning, let it cook for another minute or two, and serve.

CarbSmart Podcast Episode 23: Refusing Holiday Food and Staying Low-Carb can be tough at first but you can do it to avoid the Food Pushers. The holidays are straight ahead, and with them piles and piles of carby junk, and worse, people nagging you to eat the stuff. Why so many people think that saying things like "But you have to eat it! It's traditional!" and "I worked all afternoon making it just for you" constitutes an expression of holiday goodwill, I have no idea, but sadly this behavior is all too common. You need to think ahead about how to respond to this sort of thing.
