This side dish contains almost all the ingredients of a traditional bread filling, except for butter, chicken broth, and eggs. Green tea may seem out of place here, but its unique flavor makes a better substitute for chicken broth, unlike vegetable broth, which adds more sweetness. Everyone will love this side dish, even those who don't consider themselves vegan, because the filling is not only delicious but also healthier. You can enjoy it without feeling guilty about the calorie overload.

Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat oven to 190°C and grease a 22x32cm baking dish.
Step 2
• Steep the tea bags in 2 cups of hot water for 5 minutes. Discard the tea bags (do not squeeze them).
Step 3
• In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened, about 6 minutes. Add the mushrooms, sage, thyme, 1.5 tablespoons of salt, and some freshly ground black pepper and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are softened, about 4 minutes. Add the brewed green tea, then bring to a boil and remove from heat.
Step 4
• Place the bread in a large bowl and pour the vegetable mixture over it. Add the parsley and toss until the bread is completely coated. Let the bread rest for 10 minutes to absorb the liquid. Gently toss again and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 5
• Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until golden brown, about 15 more minutes. Serve hot.
