Mashed Cauliflower Covered Chicken
Whilst trying to get my sugar levels down, I read that it is a good idea to substitute other vegetables instead of potatoes.
So, in this recipe, I have mashed the cooked cauliflower with a bit of oil, and covered the chicken mixture with it. It looks like a shepherds pie, only it is far healthier!
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Serves: 3
Ingredients
½ large leek
2 celery stalks
2 chicken thighs
½ cauliflower
Small clove garlic, crushed
½ small bunch parsley, chopped roughly
½ tbsp flour
150 ml vegetable stock
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp almond meal
Method
Preheat the oven to 190°/170° fan forced.
Cut the cauliflower into pieces and steam until soft.
Transfer this into a food processor, add the olive oil, salt and pepper, and process until the cauliflower is creamy.
The cauliflower will looked like mashed potatoes
Slice the leek and celery and cook in a frying pan for about four minutes until it is starting to soften. Remove from pan.
Cut the chicken thighs into chunks and cook in the same frying pan until lightly browned.
Return the leek and celery to the pan and add the roughly chopped parsley.
Add the stock and mix it all together.
Mix the flour with a tablespoon of the stock from the fry pan. Stir until it is a smooth paste.
Add this paste to the mixture and stir over a low hear for a few minutes.
Pour the mixture into a pie dish and top with the mashed cauliflower.
Sprinkle the almond meal over the top and this will make a light crumb.
Bake for about 25 - 30 minutes.
Serve.
Served with gravy on top
