About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 2 egg
- 0.33 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1 zucchini
- 2 tbsp chives
- 2 tbsp parsley
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 1/2 tbsp avocado oil
Creamy Cauliflower Mash with Garlic & Parmesan
- 1 head cauliflower
- 3 garlic clove
- 3 1/2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 tbsp ghee
Instructions
- 1Preheat a steamer or a pot with a steaming basket over medium heat.
- 2Place the chopped cauliflower florets and the three garlic cloves in the steamer basket; cover and steam for 8‑10 minutes, until very tender.
- 3While the cauliflower steams, grate the zucchini, then place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove excess moisture.
- 4In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, eggs, almond flour, grated parmesan, grated mozzarella, dried zucchini, chopped chives, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; avoid over‑mixing.
- 5Heat 0.5 tbsp avocado oil in a large non‑stick skillet over medium‑high heat (about 375°F/374°F).
- 6Using a 2‑inch cookie scoop or your hands, form the mixture into patties and gently place them in the hot skillet, spacing them evenly.
- 7Cook the fritters for 3‑4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the interior reaches 165°F (165°F). Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- 8When the cauliflower is done, transfer it together with the steamed garlic to a food processor.
- 9Add the almond milk, 0.25 cup parmesan, and ghee to the processor; blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- 10Season the cauliflower mash with a pinch of salt and pepper, then transfer to a serving bowl.
- 11Serve the hot chicken‑zucchini fritters over a generous scoop of the creamy cauliflower mash, garnished with extra chopped chives if desired.
