Ingredients

  • ½ cup shelled pumpkin seeds

  • ½ cup shelled sunflower seeds

  • ¼ cup butter

  • 1 cup minced onion

  • ¾ cup sliced celery

  • ¾ cup grated carrot

  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom

  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 1 loaf whole-grain bread, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 1 cup wheat and barley nugget cereal (e.g. Grape-Nuts™)

  • ¼ cup dried cranberries

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 egg, beaten

  • 2 cups vegetable broth

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the pumpkin and sunflower seeds onto a baking sheet. Toast the seeds in the oven until lightly browned and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

  2. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, carrot, cardamom, thyme, parsley, and bay leaves to the butter and cook until the vegetables are tender; remove the bay leaves.

  3. Toss together the toasted seeds, bread, cereal, cranberries, and vegetable mixture in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add the eggs and mix. Add the vegetable stock gradually until the mixture is moist, but not mushy. Transfer mixture to a lightly greased casserole dish.

  4. Bake in preheated oven until browned, about 30 minutes.
