- ZOODLES WITH CAULIFLOWER SAUCE AND FARMERS SAUSAGE
- For the Sauce:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 5 - 6 cloves of garlic, minced
- 3 tomatoes, chopped
- 1 head cauliflower, washed and chopped into pieces
- 3 cups chicken broth
- couple chili flakes (optional) (I like them!)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
FOR THE ZOODLES - 1 good-sized zucchini per person
- ¼ tsp sea salt per zucchini
- 1 tsp olive oil per zucchini
FOR THE DISH - 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 ring farmer sausage, raw or cooked, cut into bite sized pieces (check for sugar and fillers)
- ½ - 1 onion, chopped
- 1- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups green beans, cut into bite sized pieces
Instructions
- FOR THE SAUCE
- In a big pot, heat the oil on medium.
- Add the onions and saute for a couple mins till they start to get soft. Add the garlic and saute for 1 min. Add the chili flakes if you like.
- Add the tomatoes and stir them for a couple mins. Then add the cauliflower and the broth and bring to a boil.
- Cover and simmer the sauce till all the vegetables are very soft. Remove from heat.
- Puree the mixture. You can use an immersion blender, an upright blender, a magic bullet... whatever you have. Just make sure that you get all the lumps out of the sauce.
- Pour it back into the pot and season with salt and pepper to taste.
FOR THE ZOODLES - Heat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Use the sprialiazer to make noodles out of your zucchini
- Lay them on a paper towel lined cookie sheet and sprinkle with Sea Salt and top with another layer of paper towels.
- Throw them in the oven for about 15 mins. When you take them out, blot them with the paper towel to get rid of excess moisture.
- Toss them in olive oil or coconut oil. (This will prevent them from getting soggy)
FOR THE DISH - Heat the olive oil in a pan on medium heat.
- Add the farmer sausage (if its raw) and the onion and saute for a few mins.
- Add the green beans and tomatoes and stir for a couple mins. Then add the farmer sausage if you have pre-cooked farmer sausage.
- Pour in the cauliflower sauce and stir well.
- Then you can either put some zoodles on a plate and pour the sauce on top, or you can add the zoodles to the sauce first and then serve. Up to you.
- Top each plate with parmesan cheese if you like (we do!) and serve!
