    Cauliflower Nut Loaf

    Gluten FreeLow CarbVegetarianKeto

    A delicious vegetarian nut loaf full of cauliflower, cheese, almond and herbs. It’s light, moist and full of flavour. A lemon herb layer gives the loaf an extra flavour.

    This vegetarian version of a meatloaf uses cauliflower rice with a herb layer made with hemp hearts. Serve with a mushroom sauce and sides of green bean casserole, turnip au gratin, cabbage au gratin and tofu mac and cheese.

    How to make a cauliflower nut loaf

    What You Need

    • Cauliflower - A medium sized cauliflower about 500g is made into cauliflower rice. I do not pre cook the cauliflower rice either.
    • Almond Flour - Almond meal (ground almonds) works well too. You could use other ground nuts in place of the almond flour. Walnuts would be a great choice.
    • Eggs - I use medium sized eggs.
    • Cream - heavy or whipping cream.
    • Cheddar Cheese - This helps keep the loaf moist.
    • Celery, onion and garlic - Used in the herb layer. I wanted to create flavours of a stuffing.
    • Lemon - The juice and grated zest give the herb layer a great flavour.
    • Hemp Hearts - I used these as a replacement for breadcrumbs in the herb layer.
