Ingredients

• 400 g Cauliflower florets
• 100 g Almond flour
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 tsp Xanthan gum
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Nutmeg
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 30 g Butter
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by steaming the cauliflower florets until they are very tender, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain well and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 2

Transfer the cooled cauliflower to a food processor and pulse until you achieve a smooth puree. Ensure there is no excess moisture; you may need to strain it through a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower puree with almond flour, egg, xanthan gum, salt, nutmeg, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms.

Step 4

Split the dough into four equal parts. On a surface dusted lightly with almond flour, roll each piece into a log approximately 1cm in diameter. Cut each log into 2-3cm pieces, shaping them into small tapered logs.

Step 5

Bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil and add a pinch of salt. Carefully lower the shaped Schupfnudeln into the boiling water in batches. Once they float to the top, let them cook for another minute, then remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.

Step 6

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add the cooked Schupfnudeln and pan-fry until they are golden brown on all sides, which should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
