Ingredients
1
green cabbage
2-3
tablespoon
Psyllium husk
Instructions
Chop the cabbage into medium-sized pieces and blend with a blender.
Blend till it’s completely pureed.
Drape a large cheesecloth over a bowl, pour in the blended mix and drain out as much liquid as you can.
Pour in a pan and place on the stove while stirring on medium-high heat.
After about 2 minutes, add 2 tablespoons of psyllium husk.
Stir continuously in a circular motion till it is completely blended in.
Add one more tablespoon if you want it firmer.
Keep stirring till the desired consistency is reached.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
This recipe makes 2 servings and each serving contains 15 net carbs.
For best results, use a
blender
and not a food processor to blend the cabbage, to ensure it is completely pureed.
When you squeeze out the blended cabbage with the cheesecloth, squeeze out as much as you can to prevent the cabbage fufu from being too soft.
To preserve your cheesecloth, soak it in a little dishwashing liquid for a few minutes, hand wash gently and rinse thoroughly. Leave out to dry.
