Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 slices gluten-free bacon, chopped
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon low-sodium tamari soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 egg, beaten
6 cups cauliflower florets
1 cup coarsely chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
3 cups shredded kale
4 red or yellow bell peppers, halved lengthwise, seeds and stems removed
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheet with foil.
  • In 10-inch skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon from skillet, reserving bacon drippings in skillet. In small bowl, crumble 2 slices of bacon; set aside. In large bowl, crumble 4 slices bacon. Add mustard, tamari soy sauce, salt, cayenne, garlic and egg; mix well. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in food processor fitted with metal blade, place cauliflower. Cover; pulse until very finely chopped (about the size of couscous).
  • Heat bacon drippings over medium heat; add onion, celery and kale. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until kale begins to soften. Add cauliflower; cook 5 to 7 minutes or until cauliflower is softened. Pour mixture into large bowl with bacon mixture; toss lightly to thoroughly mix.
  • Place pepper halves on cookie sheet. Divide cauliflower mixture among peppers. Roast 25 to 30 minutes or until peppers are tender. Sprinkle with reserved bacon and thyme. Serve immediately.

I had a hard time finding cauliflower rice at my grocery store. I ended up using regular cauliflower and it worked out fine.

These stuffed peppers were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.
