Cauliflower Meatballs

                                                                           (the end...)

     Cauliflower is the new "it girl" in produce.  Find her showing off in Pizza, Taco's, Stir Fry's and now MEATBALLS!!!  I received my inspiration for Cauliflower Meatballs from Gina at Skinnytaste.com, she's the bomb when it comes to healthy fun.  My yummy twist on this weighs in at 247 calories, 12g net carbs, and 21g protein for 3 Meatballs and 1/4 cup Sauce (each Meatball is 74 calories, 3.3g net carbs and 6.5g protein).  This flavorful dish needs to be on your short list pronto!  :)

Ingredients for 12 Meatballs and 1 cup Sauce, 4 Servings~
1 Tablespoon Avocado Oil (sub with Olive Oil)
1 diced medium Onion
1 Tablespoon chopped Garlic
Dash Cayenne
1/2 pound/8oz ground Chicken Breast (Whole Foods grinds theirs fresh every day)
1 12oz frozen bag Riced Cauliflower, thawed
Dash Lite Salt
1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella
1 jumbo Egg (important to use Jumbo Egg or won't be enough volume)
1/4 cup Bread Crumbs
1 cup Marinara Sauce

     Heat Oil in skillet, add Onion, Garlic and Cayenne and cook til golden brown over medium heat.  Add Chicken and cook thru, drain if necessary.  Add Cauliflower and continue to cook til tender, season with Salt to taste, stir in Cheese til melty.  When cool enough to touch, scoop by 1/4 cup and compress into condensed balls and set on plate, repeat with remaining mixture.  Roll each ball in Egg, then in Crumbs and set on foil lined cookie sheet that has been sprayed with Olive Oil Spray.  Finish by spraying tops and sides of Meatballs with Olive Oil Spray before baking at 425 for 25 minutes.  Serve 3 Meatballs over of 1/4 cup Sauce.  Enjoy  :)
