These little yummies make a great potato/hash brown replacement, they were like a savory pancake. But I thought they were most like good, old fashion grits! I ate them hot, right off the griddle, but I'll be having them with steak for dinner later. Wouldn't they make a great latka? Just don't serve it with applesauce - too much sugar!
These turned out WONDERFULLY! I'm going to guess your whole house will like these. My super picky kids even tried them, although it was in exchange for a cookie, so go figure. I would love to find a way to incorporate them into breakfast or smaller with different toppings for a party. Whether you are doing the Belly Fat Cure or Fast Track, these make a great snack or side dish to your meal.
Cheesy Cauliflower Grits:

1/2 head cauliflower
1 egg
1/2 shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp garlic powder
How To:
I grated the fresh cauliflower with my cheese grater, but a food processor is great for this too (and is on my Christmas list!). I guess frozen would work fine too. Do it all, the florets and stems, but not the leaves. Microwave for 2 - 2:30 minutes and blend in the egg and cheese thoroughly. Scoop them out onto a hot griddle or skillet into the size of a small pancake, using olive or coconut oil if your skillet needs it. Depending on thickness, and how crispy you want them, cook least 3 minutes on each side.
The entire batch is 16 grams of carbs, 6 grams sugar and 8 grams fiber. I'd say four little pancakes, half of the recipe, should be more than be enough and will have an S/C Value of 3/1. It is all determined by the size of the cauliflower head and are all good, high fiber carbs.

I had grits once with smocked gouda cheese. If you like gouda cheese, I highly recommend you make these with smoked gouda; it was reeeally yummy!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Amber. Those look great. I just shredded some cauliflower last night. :-)
ReplyDeleteThey look great Amber. I'm not Jewish, but I think they also serve the potato latkes with sour cream. That might be delicious on these! Good job!
ReplyDeleteAmber you always have such great posts! I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday!
ReplyDeleteThe things you can make with a cauliflower are endless. I love it. Thanks for another great recipe!

ReplyDeleteHi All,

I made these the other night. They wouldn't stay together well, so I ended up making it like hash or hash browns, it was delicious. Thank you for the recipe idea. I feel like I never have to have rice, potatoes or pasta again because I can substitute cauliflower or zucchini and be just as satisfied.Yahoo!
ReplyDeleteWho would have thought a few years ago we'd be celebrating and appreciating cauliflower the way we do now! Thanks for another great recipe. Happy Holidays
ReplyDeleteWow, I am just starting the Fast Track and I was at a total loss as to what to make when it calls for Cauliflower. I am not a big fan, but this looked good, so I tried it and OMG, it is really good! I also, like another writer, could not get the pancakes to stick so I made a big hash brown thing, but yum! Thanks!!
