Why is it I always find myself buying a ton of vegetables and then not eating them. If your like me and happen to have a head of Cauliflower in your fridge may I suggest this recipe to spice them up. This is a great side dish with your main meal or can be made for an afternoon snack. One fritter is 1 weight watcher point.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups steamed cauliflower mashed
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup low fat Mozzarella
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • 3 Green Onions chopped
  • 2-3 tbls cup hot water
  • salt and pepper (or any other seasoning/herbs you wish)
  • A spray or two of oil to cook the fitters.
Directions:
  1. In a large bowl, combine cauliflower, flour, garlic, egg whites, grated cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.
  2. Add water so that batter becomes slightly more dense than pancake batter.
  3. On medium-low heat, add 1 tsp of oil in a 10 inch skillet coating bottom of the pan. Use a cooking brush to spread out the oil if needed.
  4. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to form fritters. You can fit 4 fritters at a time.
  5. Cook until golden brown, turn and cook another few minutes. Add a bit more oil to the pan if needed.
  6. Serve with your favorite sauce and enjoy. I dipped mine in a sweet chili sauce from the asian asile in most super markets.

Super Veggie Stuffed Peppers

Leave a reply

Thank you Hungry Girl for making this amazingly filling and delicious dish. The recipe is a single serving so of course we doubled it as my hubby and I would be eating this for dinner. To be honest we were so full we could have easily just shared the recipe instead of doubling it. The recipe uses soy crumbles so to make it easier for my foodie followers I added a picture below of the the ones you can find in Canada. They are Yves Original Veggie Ground Round and I use them for everything. The recipe can be found in the Hungry Girl 200 under 200 cookbook. Fortunately I was able to find this recipe online so I inserted the link here: Super Veggie Stuffed Pepper recipe. As always I will not post recipes for copyright reasons, however, if I am able to find it online I will include it as a link as I did for this one. If I can’t find it, your next best option is to buy the book. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did.
