INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR LOW-CARB SUBSTITUTIONS:
CAULIFLOWER:
- Cauliflower has a strong flavor and texture, which is why we utilize it. Alternatively, you might mix pieces of zucchini, broccoli florets, and cabbage.
TAHINI:
- Tahini can be used to add a nutty taste and healthy fats. It can be replaced with almond, peanut, or sunflower seed butter.
ONIONS:
- To add sweetness and scent, we use onions. Onion powder, shallots, or green onions can be used in their place.
CUCUMBER:
- Because they will provide the cuisine a crunchy texture and a fresh flavor, cucumbers have to be utilized. As an alternative, you might use thinly sliced radish, celery sticks, or zucchini.
OLIVE OIL:
- The vegetables will cook more evenly and have a rich texture if you use olive oil. Alternatively, you might substitute melted butter or avocado oil.
