Cauliflower and Meatballs Ragout – a fragrant dish, scented with cinnamon, cumin and fresh cilantro. The meatballs are made with grated zucchini and flavoured with a hint of cinnamon and cumin. Keeping them light and flavourful. Once you prepare the meatballs they are cooked with cauliflower, carrots and turnip in a light tomato-based broth. The earthy veggies transform this simple meatball ragout dish into a deceptively hearty and flavourful dish. 

♥ A healthy naturally gluten-free ragout for an easy weeknight meal.

With the weather warming up having a light, yet hearty meal finishes the day beautifully. In this ragout recipe, you have everything, meat, veggies, a light broth and lots of flavours. The entire meal is made in 45 minutes from start to finish, and you don’t have to add a side dish, like rice or potatoes. But if you feel you need more, add one of our tasty gluten-free rice sides. This recipe is most certainly for one of those nights when you crave healthy comfort food. 

For the cauliflower, it is a high fiber cruciferous vegetable, nutrient-packed and is naturally high in B vitamins and antioxidants.
