Cauliflower Stuffing


1 slice bacon, diced
1 leek, diced (white part only)
1 garlic clove, diced
½ head of cauliflower, florets sliced into ¼” thickness
1 tsp freshly chopped rosemary leaves
1 tsp sage leaves
1 heaping tablespoon of Ideal Protein Plain crepe mix
¼-1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
Freshly ground pepper

In a large skillet, fry the bacon on medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes.  Add diced leeks and garlic to the pan and sauté for 3 minutes with the bacon.  Add rosemary, sage and cauliflower.  Sauté for 2 minutes until the herbs are fragrant.  Add 1 heaping tablespoon of Plain Crepe mix, and ¼ Cup of broth.  Bring to a boil and simmer on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally or until the cauliflower is tender but still a bit firm. Remove from heat and check for seasoning.  Add salt and ground black pepper as needed.  Serve hot. 
*Additional chopped mushrooms and celery are also great additions to this dish.  *2 oz.’s ground pork or sausage can be used in place of bacon.
