Preparation

Vegetable rice stuffing is a delicious vegan recipe for any festive meal. This traditional Greek style vegetable rice stuffing is great for stuffing a pumpkin or squash, and as a side dish. Leftovers can be stored in the covered baking dish or other covered containers in the refrigerator for a few days.

Wash and clean the vegetables, peel the onions, potatoes, and carrots, and remove the stems and seeds from the bell peppers.

Dice all the veggies and place in the baking pan or dish.

Add all the other ingredients to the veggies in the large covered baking pan, and mix together thoroughly. 

Cook in an oven at 350 degrees F. until the vegetables and rice are tender (about 1 to 1-1/2 hours). Remove from the oven every 15 minutes and mix well. The moisture from the veggies will be absorbed into the rice; however, add a little extra water, if necessary, to keep stuffing from drying out or burning.

Enjoy as a side dish or as a stuffing for a pumpkin or squash.

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
