Cauliflower Colcannon ****

 Tasty.  I would prefer the scallions lightly sauteed.  I also added garlic powder.  I made it in the Kitchen Aid because I don't know where the food processor is.  It didn't produce the creamy results that the processor would have. I'd like to try this recipe again using mashed potato squash.

Cauliflower Colcannon

Cauliflower colcannon is a healthy and keto-friendly twist on the traditional Irish dish of mashed potatoes and cooked greens! Plus, you can make it in the Instant Pot!

Prep Time10 mins

Cook Time35 mins

Total Time45 mins

• 
  
AD
• 1 bunch kale, stemmed and roughly torn
• 1 large cauliflower, cut into florets
• 4 scallions
• 4 Tbsp ghee or extra virgin olive oil, divided
• Sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper 

Instant Pot Cauliflower Colcannon

Pour 1 cup water in Instant Pot with a steamer in it. Add kale, sprinkle with sea salt, and cook on high pressure for 1 minute. Release the pressure manually and remove cooked kale.

Add cauliflower florets to Instant Pot and salt liberally. Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes. Release pressure manually.

While cauliflower is cooking, squeeze out excess liquid in the cooked kale.  Finely chop kale and scallions and transfer to a large bowl.  

When cauliflower is done cooking, transfer florets to a food processor. Add 3 Tbsp of the ghee or olive oil and process until smooth.                                                                    

Add cauliflower purée to the bowl with the greens; fold to combine. Adjust seasonings.

Roasted Mashed Potato Squash - **

I wanted to like this.  It's a good recipe; I just can't deal with the texture.

 

Roasted Mashed Potato Squash

Mashed potato squash is similar to acorn squash with a mild, potato-like flavor. It's easy to cook and makes a great side dish.

 Prep Time 5 minutes

 Cook Time 45 minutes

 Total Time 50 minutes

 Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

For Roasting

• 4 small mashed potato squash, about one pound each
• Olive oil
• Himalayan pink salt 

For Mashing

• ⅓ cup coconut milk, more as needed
• 2 Tbsp ghee

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375° F.

2. Place squash on a cutting board. Using a chef's knife, cut off about a ¼-inch off the root and stem end. Keep your fingers away from the blade. Stand the squash up on one of those ends and cut in half, from top to bottom.

3. Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, remove the seeds.

4. Brush olive oil on the cut-side of the squash and season with salt and pepper. Place the squash, cut-side down, on parchment-lined baking sheet.

5. Roast until tender, about 45 minutes. The squash should be tender and soft when pierced with a fork.

6. To mash, scoop the squash from the shell and place in a medium mixing bowl. Add the coconut milk and ghee. Mash with a potato masher or handheld mixer until soft. If needed, add additional coconut milk until creamy. Season with Himalayan pink salt.

Fluffy Scrambled Eggs *****

• In a small mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat for about 4 minutes. Add ghee and swirl to coat.
• Pour eggs into skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low.
• When the edges of the eggs start to appear cooked, use the spatula to push the eggs from one side of the skillet to the other, lifting and folding the eggs, until they form a single fluffy mound.
• When there is no more liquid in the skillet, immediately remove the eggs onto a plate and serve.

Chicken Tenders *****

Very flavorful and tender.  Cooked some broccoli in the extra olive oil and butter and served it with the chicken.

• 1 Tbsp tallow or lard
• ▢2 Tbsp butter, divided
• ▢1 pound chicken tenderloins
• ▢2 tsp smoked paprika
• ▢½ tsp Himalayan salt
• ▢
• ▢4 cloves garlic, crushed
• ▢1 tsp oregano
• 2 Tbsp water

• Add olive oil and melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
• Add the chicken tenders; season with smoked paprika.
• Cook for 3 minutes on each side (season each side as you cook).
• Make room for the garlic, melt the remaining butter, and add the garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until the garlic becomes fragrant.
• Season with oregano, and cook for one more minute.
• Add water to the pan to deglaze it, and scrape off any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan (that's where all of the good flavor is).

Sunny side up eggs nestled inside acorn squash rings😊

Sprinkled with parmesan cheese, sun dried tomatoes, sea salt and black pepper.

I brushed the acorn squash slices with melted ghee and baked them for 30 minutes on 375°F before cracking the eggs inside.

Then, baked them for 8 more minutes and they came out perfect and delicious🤗

Duchess Cauliflower Casserole - *****

Duchess Cauliflower Casserole 

Makes 6 servings (1/2 cup each)

20 ounces frozen riced cauliflower

2 tablespoons heavy cream [sub coconut cream]

1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut milk

1 large egg, separated

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

A pinch of garlic powder

4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter [sub ghee], divided

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Heat riced cauliflower in a large saucepan until thawed and most of the excess liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and puree in a food processor until a mashed potato consistency is reached.

Whisk together heavy cream, coconut milk, egg yolk, sea salt, and garlic. Stir this mixture into the mashed cauliflower along with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter until well combined.

Grease a small casserole dish and spread the cauliflower mash evenly in the dish.

Whisk together the egg white, remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and a pinch of sea salt. Pour 1/2 to 3/4 of the egg white mixture on the top of the cauliflower mash. Tilt the pan and allow the egg white mixture to flow into the corners and all over the top until evenly coated. Use the flat side of a sharp knife to carve a diamond pattern into the top of the casserole, pressing only about 1/4 inch into the surface.

5. Place in the preheated oven on the middle rack and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning 1/2 way through cooking. Bake until the crust is a nice golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to rest for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
