fennel stuffing

Fennel Stuffing

Fennel Stuffing or Ravioli Filling (v, gf)

Honestly I couldn’t decide whether to call this a Fennel Stuffing or a Fennel Ravioli Filling- because it’s both. I created it for this vegan pasta dough, but I also stuffed the leftovers into a quesadilla and then inside a split chicken breast (and I do get the irony of a vegan stuffing inside of meat:) ). I’m just saying it’s pretty versatile.

I could see this as a hash topping over avocado toast with an egg too- if you’re eating eggs. The mashed sweet potato holds it together without the need for an egg, which is why it works so well as a ravioli filling IMO. You could dice the potato and toss in with the fennel for a more hash-like, less sticky filling.

If you try this, let me know how it worked out for you and be sure to tag @happyeatshealthy on IG or FB!
Happy eating,
