"Fauxtatoes" (Faux mashed potatoes) and Turkey Patties:
First, cut up a head of cauliflower and boil it in water for about 20 minutes. While it is boiling, take 1 lb. of ground turkey meat and mix it with a finely diced shallot, a chopped clove of garlic, and one rib of celery. (The shallot and celery provide moisture and prevent the turkey patty from getting too dry.) Also, mix in some gluten-free Tamari, about 1 tsp. (note: Tamari is a specially-brewed soy sauce. You can use regular gluten-free soy sauce, but it won't have the same awesome flavor. The Tamari does two things: First, it adds salt (and a delicious flavor). Second, it turns the patties a lovely brown color which makes them look much more appetizing.) Shape turkey mixture into 4 patties and fry in some olive oil. Cover the pan and cook for about 20 minutes or so, until cooked through. I always put a little more Tamari on top as they're cooking.
By this time, the cauliflower should be cooked. Strain the cauliflower pieces, and put them in a food processor (using the puree blade). Add a dash of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Puree until smooth. Add some chopped green onion if you like. (I do.) If you want to get fancy, you could add some soy cheese and/or turkey bacon. I won't lie and say that it tastes exactly like mashed potatoes, but you can fool yourself into feeling like you're eating them. My husband, who hates cauliflower, loves this recipe!
Serve a scoop of fauxtatoes alongside a turkey patty. Serves 4.
The faux potatoes actually look pretty good
ReplyDeleteThey are surprisingly good for being mostly cauliflower. When you haven't had potatoes in a while, it feels like a sinful treat!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you can have celery root because it is pretty starchy, but I think it tastes great when mashed. A lot like potatoes, but with more flavor.
ReplyDeleteNever tried celery root, but now I'm intrigued. Maybe I'll try it this week.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of the faux-tatoes!
ReplyDeleteI should go sugar-free too, but the last time I tried it, I had an uncontrollable crying jag and had to go home from work it was so bad.
We are in similar situations. I'm allergic to dairy, eggs and red meat, while my husband is allergic to gluten. While I can find recipes without these items, it takes time. I miss the days of lasagne, mac & cheese, and other comfort foods.
ReplyDeleteI also have a food blog - www.imnotvegan.com.
Hello, my name is RITA CARMEN and I have been trying to get pregnant for over 12 years. i have been looking for ways online for so long, I first did Depo Provera Shot which i consecutively took every three months in order to get pregnant or fertile, but there was no way from it. I did Depo shot for 3 years constantly until my Doctors in Australia told me to try IVF because I had Endometriosis stage 4 and I resulted to try IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). For months after my IVF no progressed and my situation became worse that my husband had already had plans or getting married to another woman because I was barren. I read a testimony about Prophet Abulele how he had helped so many women with pregnancy problems and also how he usually casts return spells to bring back partner and make one fertile. Of all options tried, I gave Prophet Abulele a try. I am now a mother of a baby boy. For over 13 years of my marriage I received my help from this spell caster. I want to impact on someone's life and make the person get help from a good spell caster. Prophet Abulele's email is:- prophetabulelehealingtemple@gmail.com and his WhatsApp is +2349022406159 once you contact him, he will help you fast.
