Boiling water		1 cup
Oil		2 1/2 Tbsp
Onions, finely chopped		1/2 lb
Fresh bread crumbs		4 cups
Tart apple		1 ea
Lemon rind, grated		1 tsp

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
Put sage leaves in boiling water and steep 15 minutes. Strain, reserving the liquid and discarding the leaves.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet. Add onions and sauté until lightly browned.
In a mixing bowl, combine onions and breadcrumbs and the remaining ingredients. Sprinkle sage stock over mixture until it is evenly moistened.
Transfer to an oiled casserole dish and bake until outside is crispy and golden, about 35 – 40 minutes. Serve with vegetarian gravy and your own favourite cranberry sauce. (You can make your own gravy or try a ready-to-use mix from your local health food store.)

Editor’s Notes

This recipe, has a unique instruction to mage a sage stock instead of just adding dried sage to the stuffing. I would assume this is made from fresh sage leaves.
