Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower florets only, chopped small (500g)
- 1 onion finely diced (40g)
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 sticks celery finely diced (150g)
- 3 tablespoon olive oil or ghee/butter, melted
- ½ - 1 teaspoon salt or to taste (depends on the quality of your sausages)
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 4 cooked vacuum packed chestnuts chopped (35g)
- 1 tablespoon rosemary chopped (3g)
- 1.5 teaspoon fresh sage chopped (1.5g)
- 1 teaspoon thyme chopped (0.5g)
- ¼ cup shelled pistachios chopped (35g)
- 400 g / 0.88 pounds sausages
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 220C / 200 fan. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
- Mix the cauliflower florets, onion, celery, and garlic. Toss with 2 tablespoon the olive oil, ghee or butter and seasoning.
- Spread in a single later and roast for 15 minutes. Add the herbs, pistachios and chestnuts. Stir to combine and roast for a further 15 minutes until the cauliflower is browned and the onion caramelized.
- Meanwhile add the remaining oil, ghee or butter to a pan. You may choose to omit this and dry fry depending on how fatty your sausages are. Remove the sausage meat from the skin using a sharp knife to slice the skin. Crumble the sausage meat into a non stick frying pan and break with a wooden spatula. Cook for approximately 7 minutes on a medium heat until it is browned.
- Combine all ingredients in a large roasting pan and cook in the oven for about a further 10 minutes, or until the sausage is slightly crisp on top. Option to scatter with fresh thyme to serve.
Notes
Makes 8 portions (circa ½ cup). 4.8 net carbs per portion.
The chestnuts really make this stuffing. They are high in carbs but you only need a few for flavour. If you prefer to leave them out, net carbs reduce to 3.7g per portion.
You can make this Keto Cauliflower Stuffing ahead of the big day and simply reheat. The day before is ideal or 2 days prior is fine too.
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
