Kale, Cauliflower & Fake Meatballs

Continuing on the tooth care plan, I was attempting to create another soft dish. While not like mashed potatoes, the cauliflower did soften up considerable, and with everything chopped up fine, the dish was easy to eat. The meatballs were a nice addition. This was a flavorful dish and served it’s purpose, and has potential for a do-over with other flavors (e.g. drop A-1, add parmesan and tomato).

¼ tsp coconut oil
40 grams kale, cut into smaller than bitesize pieces
1 T. chives, chopped
2 basil leaves, chopped fine
2/3 C c auliflower flowerets, cut up
1 oz white wine
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
2 egg whites
½ tsp black pepper
6 soy meatballs, Mama Mia by Gardenburger
3 oz yogurt, greek non-fat, plain
3 tsp A-1 sauce, served on the side

• Microwave on high for 4-5 mins, the cauliflower, chives, basil, wine and vinegar. Mash or mush into finer pieces, and set aside.
• Heat coconut oil in sauté pan and add the kale.
• Add cauliflower mix.
• While this is sauting, heat the meatballs in microwave according to package instructions.
• Add meatballs to the kale and cauliflower.
• Add egg whites and pepper and scramble.
• Serve and top with the yogurt. Serve the A-1 on the side and only use what you want to taste.
