Recipe Notes
The net carbs on this recipe is 6 grams per serving and it all comes from vegetables.Here are helpful tips to ensure your cauliflower stuffing turns out perfect;
You can eliminate the pork rinds or replace them with ground beef or ground sausage. Or just add a pound of ground beef or sausage to the recipe. You may need to increase the seasonings and the broth, however.
While this is optional, you can garnish your cauliflower stuffing with fresh cilantro or parsley. It helps to kick the flavor up a notch while making your dish look pretty.
Opt to wipe down the mushrooms with damp paper towels rather than rinsing them in water. You can do a quick rinse but remember mushrooms are spongy, so they soak up water. And if you don't pat them dry you, they won't brown, plus you'll end up with a soggy mess.
If possible, slice the veggies uniformly as this allows them to cook quickly and evenly.
Sautee the veggies in medium-low heat. Too much heat can burn the veggies before they become tender. And if the heat is too low, it'll result in soggy cauliflower and mushrooms.
