- 1. For cauliflower Mash:
- 2. Heat a 3 quart pot with water, sprinkle with salt and bring to a boil. Add cauliflower florets to the boiling water, and cook until very soft
- 3. Drain cauliflower and return to the pot. Add 1/4 C Nutpods and using an immersion blender, blend until smooth and the consistency of mashed potatoes.. turn heat off and add salt and pepper to taste.
- 4. For Meatballs and Gravy:
- 5. In a large, heavy, nonstick skillet, heat 1 tbsp tallow and cook onions over medium heat until soft - you should have about 1/4 cup cooked minced onions. Remove skillet from heat (you will use this skillet to brown meatballs)
- 6. Add cooked onions to a large bowl, then add all meatballs ingredients and mix well with your hands, until fully combined (try not to overwork the meat, if possible)
- 7. Form meat mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls and place on a parchment lined platter or baking sheet.
- 8. Heat your skillet over medium heat and brown meatballs (using a bit more tallow if necessary) turning just 2 to 3 times carefully so they don’t break.
- 9. Once browned, remove meatballs to a plate and set aside.
- 10. For gravy, turn heat to medium and add 3 tbsp ghee to skillet and whisk in the arrowroot until bubbly.
- 11. Add remaining gravy ingredients and stir to combine, raise the heat to bring to a strong simmer.
- 12. Return meatballs to skillet, lower heat a bit and allow them to simmer in gravy until fully cooked through and gravy has thickened - 3-5 minutes. Serve hot over cauliflower mash. Enjoy!
