CAULIFLOWER STUFFING INGREDIENTS:
This low carb stuffing contains fresh veggies and herbs. The main ingredient is fresh cauliflower. To add an aromatic flavor, I used a good amount of onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. I also added a generous amount of fall herbs; sage, thyme, rosemary, and poultry seasoning.
In this recipe, I used fresh herbs, except for the poultry seasoning that comes in a ground form. Dried herbs can also be used as an alternative.
