1) Preheat oven to 35o degrees. Oil a medium casserole dish. In a large cast iron skillet over medium-high, heat olive oil until shimmering.
Add onion and saute, stirring frequently, until it begins to soften. Add garlic and saute, stirring occasionally, until corn is heated through and onion and garlic are soft.
Stir in next 6 ingredients plus optional nutritional yeast. In a large bowl, combine corn mixture with remaining ingredients.
Spoon lightly into prepared casserole dish--avoid packing--and bake, uncovered for 30 minutes. Toward the end of the baking period, make sauce.
2) In a large cast iron skillet over medium-high, heat olive oil until shimmering. Add garlic and saute, stirring constantly, until it softens and begins to turn golden; avoid browning.
Add wine and lemon juice and cook down for a minute or two. Then stir in butter and allow to melt. Follow with creamer and heat through. Then add nutritional yeast and stir to combine.
Finally, stir in tomatoes and sugar and heat through. Check for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve over warm stuffing.
