Ingredients
- 16 oz fresh cauliflower, chopped fine
-
1 T Stacey Hawkins Farmhouse Chicken and Veggie Seasoning
- 4T half and half, OR 4T milk OR 4T chicken broth
-
- 8 Grissini style breadsticks- plain or flavored OR 2 packages Medifast/Optavia Parmesan Cheese Puffs* OR 1/3C Bob’s Red Mill TVP**(Texturized Vegetable Protein)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350° F.
- If using breadsticks, divide the breadsticks into 2 piles of 4 each. Place in a zipper bag and using a rolling pin or can (or another “tool” of choice) pulverize the sticks into medium-sized crumbs. (The bigger you leave the crumbs, the more texture you will have.) If you’re using the parm puffs or the TVP, crush them coarsely as well and divide in 2 equal portions.
- Add the remaining ingredients to a large bowl and add one bag of bread stick crumbs (or 1 package of parm puffs or 1/2 of the crushed TVP). Mix well.
- Pour cauliflower mixture into an 8 x 8 square baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining "breadcrumbs."
- Bake for 30 minutes for slightly crunchy stuffing, 40-45 minutes for softer stuffing.
Chef's Notes & More
Serving size is 1/2 C of this dish made with Optavia Puffs and broth is approx. 1/2 Lean, 1 Green and 1 Condiment.
1/2 - Leanest
1 - Green
2 - Condiments
STACEY SAYS
NOTE: If you want to decrease the Lean value, you may simply roast the cauliflower and the seasonings without any "breadcrumbs". This would leave you with something similar to stuffing, but only needing to count the green portion and the condiment portion.
