Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 medium celery stalks
- 1 small onion
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Trim the leaves from the head of cauliflower and break it into small florets. Use a food processor to pulse the florets until they reach a rice-like consistency.
Spread the cauliflower rice on a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
Dice the celery and onion finely.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced celery and onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, sautéed celery and onion, eggs, garlic powder, thyme, sage, salt, pepper, and parsley.
Add the chicken broth gradually and mix until the mixture holds together well when pressed into a ball. You may need a little more or less broth depending on how wet your cauliflower is.
With clean hands, shape the mixture into golf ball-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the stuffing balls are golden brown and cooked through.
Let the stuffing balls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as a side dish or a delightful snack!
