Low Carb Monday – Cauliflower the Thanksgiving Way

November 21, 2016 by Adria Ali Leave a Comment

While many people will overindulge during thanksgiving, many people will choose the high road and opt for healthier versions. Those with food sensitivities and allergies  have the hardest time during the holiday seasons.  This recipe could be a life saver!  In this “Trick Your Taste Buds” recipe, I combine the flavors of stuffing with a healthier option, cauliflower!   It could be something you use all season long!

Cook Time: 1 hr 30 mins

Difficulty: Easy

Servings: 6

 

Ingrediants

1 large head of cauliflower

6 sage leaves

4 sprigs of fresh thyme

4 sprigs of fresh rosemary

Kosher sea salt

4 cloves of garlic

Ground pepper (optional)

 

Gluten Free Gravy Recipe

If you aren’t extremely sensitive – you can skip this step and opt for a gluten free, dairy free gravy packet.  My favorite is from the Mayacamas brand.  They have various flavors.  You may want to go with their lighter colored gravy packet.

Ingredients for Gravy

1 tbsp of ghee or grass fed butter

1/2 of a chopped onion

4 ounces of mushrooms (optional)

3 tbsp of ghee or grass fed butter (unsalted)

3 tbsp of gluten free flour

2 – 4 cups of vegetable stock

 

Directions for Trick Your Taste Buds – Cauliflower, Thanksgiving style

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees

Melt 1 – 2 tablespoons of butter and spread it over the cauliflower.  You can also choose to rub the butter on in a solid state.

Season the cauliflower with salt and pepper.   Place in a baking dish or cast iron skillet.  Surround the cauliflower with  garlic cloves, sage leaves, 2 sprigs of thyme, and 2 sprigs of rosemary.  Bake for 1 and a half hours.   Bake until tender and golden.

Make your gravy 

Finely chop the last 2 sprigs of thyme and rosemary.  Melt the remaining butter, and saute the onions in a pan until translucent (roughly 3 – 5 mins).  Add in mushrooms, salt and pepper.  Add herbs and cook until mushrooms are tender.

Add in 1 -2 cloves of garlic.  Mash them into the gravy mixture.

Add in flour, then whisk mixture to break up clumps.  Cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously.  Stir in 2 cups of vegetable broth and allow gravy to boil.  Then, reduce the heat to low.  Allow the gravy to cook for 5  more minutes (stirring frequently). The mixture should thicken.  At this point you can decide if you’d like to add in more broth.

Remove from heat and serve over cauliflower.

Fit Tip: To make this recipe dairy free, use ghee instead of butter.  Ghee is a version of butter without the milk solids.

Bulletproof option:  Omit pepper, change onions to green onions (using the whites of them stems), and omit mushrooms.

 

Who needs to wait for Thanksgiving?  You can make this dish tonight!
