Protein-Packed Cauliflower Mac with Sharp Cheddar
Enjoy a modern twist on classic mac and cheese using tender cauliflower florets as the base, enriched with a creamy, sharp cheddar sauce and boosted with protein-rich lentils and Greek yogurt. This dish perfectly balances comfort and nutrition while delivering a satisfying blend of textures and a robust cheesy flavor.
INGREDIENTS
300g chopped cauliflower
56g (1/2 cup) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
125g (1/2 cup) nonfat Greek yogurt
100g (1/2 cup) cooked lentils
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a large saucepan over medium heat.
Steam or boil the chopped cauliflower until it is fork-tender, about 6-8 minutes, then drain well.
In the same pan, lightly sauté the minced garlic in a splash of water or a minimal amount of olive oil until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the steamed cauliflower and cooked lentils to the pan, stirring gently.
Reduce the heat to low and fold in the nonfat Greek yogurt and shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese melts into a creamy sauce, coating the cauliflower and lentils evenly.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy this protein-packed, comforting twist on mac and cheese.
