VEGAN LOADED CAULIFLOWER is the ultimate COMFORT FOOD! + Free Printable Recipe

[@tinafranco338]

Jill, I have made so many of your recipes. I am definitely making this one. Last week I made your Meatloaf. As a long time Vegan, I have many Meatloaf recipes, but yours is the BEST (my Vegan husband says so as well). I made some of your soups, Bombay Potatoes... We are trying to improve our Vegan diet and go more Whole Food Plant Based so I will be probably cooking mostly your recipes. Tomorrow I am making your Pepperoni. Thank you so much for all your wonderful recipes.

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Thank you so much Tina😊 I’m so glad you are enjoying the recipes.

[@tinafranco338]

@@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow Oh, Jill!!! Your Pepperoni recipe is Amazing!!! I made it today and my husband LOVED IT! He said it's like Salami (before he was Vegan, he loved Salami). I am so happy I "found you". I share your recipes on my FB. Thank you again.

[@faceurgiant]

@@tinafranco338 I'm glad you mentioned this- somehow I overlooked that there was a pepperoni recipe!!! I am so excited to try it now!!! yum

[@tinafranco338]

@@faceurgiant It is so easy and yummy. I make sandwiches with it (like salami). I am having it Today for lunch :o) I use Jill's Buckwheat bread recipe, little bit of Mustard and her "pepperoni". With an Apple it is a complete and nutritious vegan lunch.

@@tinafranco338 That does sound like a wonderful lunch idea! Yum! I'm so excited to try this :)

This is literally the only source of recipes (online or otherwise) that I trust to only include the healthiest ingredients possible. Every other time I read a recipe there’s at least one ingredient I’m not happy about but your recipes are always 100% healthy❤️

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Thank you so much 😊 We’re so glad you enjoy the recipes 👍

[@galaxymist7396]

Eating this as I type. IT IS BOMB, I’m so thrilled to have found your channel. Most vegan channels do not focus on health. I love that this recipe uses real ingredients and zero oils. Thank you so much!

[@kategilbert6390]

I think I’m going to make this for thanksgiving!! So excited!!

[@ultraviolet734]

I think roasting onions with the mushrooms would really be good. Cauliflower is my fave.😊

[@sylvialovesthemosthigh2764]

I'll use the vegan 🥓 and let you know how it turns out💯 Thank you Jill🎃🧡👍🏾🙋🏾‍♀️

[@sn232]

I used steamed, peeled potatoes instead of the cashews, eliminated the vinegar, and the cheese sauce is tasty!

[@adriannschmitke6578]

I made this last night! It was awesome!! I had some cooked farro in the fridge that needed to be used up and I put it in the bottom of my pan but I followed the rest of the recipe. It was delicious 😋 I brought some of the leftovers for my work lunch. I put a bed of spinach in my container and put this on top. This smelled so good when i was heating it up. I work in a school and I had kids checking out my lunch lol 😆 thank you for the recipe.

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Fantastic 😊

[@UniqAssassin]

It’s in the oven right now, can’t wait to taste it! I love WFPB recipes, so you got yourself a new subscriber! Greetings from the Netherlands ♥️

[@katrussell6819]

Sometimes mixing the coating flavors and the stock BEFORE coating the veggies helps distribute the coating more evenly.

[@cindyf.]

I just made it, SUPER DELICIOUS. I was thinking I could make the same recipe with potatoes 🥔 😋. Thanks Jill

[@shondaet]

I have a cauliflower that I haven't yet eaten. This is going on my list. I will even try the mushroom "bacon". I have resisted using mushrooms, but this looks amazing.

[@oqeox]

Just made it and it is so delicious! I doubled my mushrooms cuz I love them. The sauce is delicious, so I used it all! The next time I make this I am going to add some peas to it. Thank again Jill for another fun and scrumptious recipe! I will definitely be keeping this one in mind for Thanksgiving!

[@fionamarshall9894]

Well... just finished a massive plateful of "Almost" Loaded Cauliflower...the cauliflower in the fridge turned out to be the smallest, wee, tiny cauliflower ever.. so I added boiled potatoes and sweet potatoes.. then the bog standard mushrooms I'd hidden in the back of the fridge had been found and mostly eaten .. so I added shiitake mushrooms, which I have to say were super tasty! I added too many raisins so counteracted the sweetness with mustard, winning, and an extra splash of apple cider vinegar. Totally delicious. Served with steamed french beans Thank you Jill. x

[@angelahill3556]

Omg I am drooling on myself just watching this! Thank you Jill so much. I can't wait to prepare this creation! 🤤🥰

[@marilynwilliams9320]

Cauliflower and mushroom is a fabulous combo! Thank you

[@iccinana]

I made this today. It’s so delicious. I lightly steamed the garlic with the cauliflower, then ‘fished’ it out and blended in the sauce, because I wanted a blander garlic flavour.

Looks amazing! I found Thyme has an excellent savory flavor that is perfect for making mushrooms taste like bacon.

[@nazokashii]

I absolute love cauliflower, so this seems like such a wonderful recipe :D thank you so much for sharing

[@LC91672]

That sauce!!!! I could just drink it on its own. So good. This recipe turned out so good. I think I steamed the cauliflower a bit too long but that was my fault. But even with the cauliflower a bit more on the softer side it was delicious. Thanks!!! I'll be making your meatloaf tomorrow :)

[@Marta_is_here]

I love over soft cauliflower!! 😋

[@Vegline]

Just bought your cookbook and made the cauliflower & wild rice soup & was excellent! Can’t wait to make this.

[@sarahshealthyrecipes]

This looks amazing I gotta try it! To make it into a soup, I would add some full fat coconut milk and make it on the stovetop or instant pot 😋Thank you for a great recipe!

[@jessdrawsit7060]

yummm! I'd definitely top with some green onions and diced tomatoes after it comes out, too

[@ruxandrastefan8705]

Dear Jill, I am one of your followers from Romania. The fact that you are not using oil is because of polyunsaturated fats, which become toxic, when exposed to heat, oxidation. The same thing happens to cashews. Use the cashews sauce (I prefer calling your recipe cashew sauce instead of cheese :), as I have bad experience with cheese)after you take the cauliflower and mushrooms out of the oven.

[@cathylynnpietranton]

I like using liquid smoke it's vegan and it gives food that much needed flavor when you're substituting bacon. The other faux bacon you can use our McCormick's bacon pieces it's soy textured soy and it's made into little bits to emulate broken pieces of bacon. I also use that a lot

[@jeandixon586]

Soy is GMO ... better to stay well away from any soy products.

Hi Jill! I have a HUGE bag of frozen cauliflower. Do you think I could use that ok? Is there extra steps I should take? My husband loves mushrooms but I have to sneak in the cauliflower, lol. Thanks! Brenda 🌼

It would do fine. You might not have to precook the cauliflower as long once it is thawed.

[@justgoodfood]

It looks very delicious.😘

[@Yokosprojects]

Your channel taught me how to cook WFPB. But in many of your recipes like this one you use nutritional yeast. Unfortunately I’m allergic to nutritional yeast. Is there a substitute?

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Nutritional yeast gives things a cheesy flavor. Unfortunately I don’t know if a good substitute but you can leave it out.

[@jonicabeird4657]

Jill, do you really use the compliment vitamins? Considering trying them.

[@judithnicholais1492]

Wow, this recipe looks so good can’t wait to try it. I found a new meatless crumble and it would be so fantastic if you guys were to post some recipes that use it. I need more ideas! It’s a clean pea protein meatless crumble - Goodside Foods Meatless Crumble. Please Please Please do some recipes with that, I love using it but I don’t have many recipes.

[@giulias.5104]

wfpb means whole food not processed, so just cook peas instead. ;-)

[@RubiconScat]

@@giulias.5104 Thanks for your suggestion, I was unfamiliar with the wfpb paradigm even though I have been practicing it unwittingly. I like using the crumbles because it is a complete protein equivalent to meat. The only processing is fermentation with mushroom roots so that I don’t need as much sugar, salt or fat to make it taste good and it has beta glucans as an added bonus. In this case I see the processing as good.

[@fairwearth690]

@@RubiconScat Thanks for this information! Would you mind sharing the product name with me? I prefer making my own tofu meatless crumble recipe as a WFPB alternative without oil, but if the product you are using is completely free of oil and toxic preservatives, that would save me some time. I used to use Yves veggie ground round that is loaded with oils and wheat, which I'm allergic to, until my husband had a heart attack and the cardiologist told us to stop using oil and overly processed foods.

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

I think it would probably work

[@catherinemelvin3708]

I absolutely love your recipes and the way you present your videos. No rushing around the kitchen, just pure enjoyment of your cooking. I have a question in relation to the mushrooms in this recipe (and possibly a suggestion for all your videos...if you don't mind)!? 1st question...Is it possible to make a big batch of the mushroom 'bacon' bits and store them? If so, what ways can you store them...in the fridge and/or the freezer? And how long would they last? 2nd question...with each of your videos, would it be possible to include what aspects of the recipe can be made in bulk for use in other recipes? For example, in this case, can the mushroom bits be made in bulk? What ways you can store them...fridge or freezer? And what other recipes that they can be used in? I hope that makes sense. Thanks again for such inspirational recipes. Xxx

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Thank you Catherine. That is a great idea. You can absolutely batch cook the mushrooms. I haven’t tried freezing them but I am positive that they would do great, and I would store them in portions. They last in the fridge, in an airtight container for about a week.

Make sure it's UNFORTIFIED nutritional yeast. Edit: Apologies, I should have explained why. "Fortified" nutritional yeast has synthetic B vitamins and a type of iron we shouldn't consume. We want the natural B vitamins that are made from nutritional yeast. You can use Brewer's yeast, but the taste is different.
