This time of the year, Americans all have one thing on their mind….
And whether it’s the Turkey, the green bean casserole, or even your favorite pie; chances are, we’ve got a great recipe for you.
And while most of my feast contains some year over year favorites,there are a few things I like to tweak with and play with every now and then.
Stuffing is one of them.
This year, the hot item seems to be Cauliflower Stuffing. And while I’ve seen plenty of recipes, and even found some in the frozen food section of one of my favorite grocery stores…there always seems to be something that just isn’t quite right.
Maybe it’s because I know, like when you’re making Cauliflower Rice, that fresh is always best. Flash cooking the cauliflower helps to keep it from turning bitter…and you just can’t flash cook frozen cauliflower. Nor should you add it too early in the cooking process.
As it is with my Cauliflower Rice recipe, the real trick here is to cook everything else first, throw the cauliflower in at the end and just warm it through.
That, coupled with traditional stuffing spices, meaty undertones brought in by diced mushrooms, and a sweet, fresh burst from the pomegranate arils, you’ll have a ‘stuffing’ recipe that everyone can love!
I’m excited to share this recipe with you today!
Enjoy!
