Ingredients:

1 head cauliflower
260g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
28 oz vienna sausage
790g
1 cup onion
90g
5 garlic cloves
16g
8 tsp fresh thyme
3.20g
1 can canned tomatoes
190g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
2 cups almond flour
240g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
8g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Cauliflower: Wash the cauliflower head and cut it into small florets.
3. Cook Cauliflower: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook until they are tender but not mushy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
4. Cook Sausage: While the cauliflower is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cut the Vienna sausage into slices or small pieces, then add to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
5. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Combine Ingredients: Return the sausage to the skillet. Add the canned tomatoes (including juice), fresh thyme, dash of salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
7. Prepare for Baking: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked cauliflower florets with the sausage and tomato mixture. Mix well to ensure the cauliflower is evenly coated with the mixture.
8. Assemble Casserole: Grease a baking dish with a bit of olive oil. Pour the cauliflower and sausage mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
9. Top with Almond Flour: Sprinkle the almond flour evenly over the top of the casserole.
10. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
11. Add Fresh Herbs: Remove the casserole from the oven. Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the top before serving.
12. Serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Sausage and Cauliflower Casserole!

Tips:

- Make sure to preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) before you start preparing the casserole to save time.

- Cut the cauliflower into small, bite-sized florets to ensure they cook evenly and become tender.

- When sautéing the onions and garlic, do so over medium heat to prevent burning and to draw out their sweetness and flavor.

- Feel free to add some grated cheese on top of the casserole before baking for an extra layer of flavor and creaminess.

- Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes after taking it out of the oven; this helps it set and makes serving easier.

- Using fresh herbs like thyme and parsley enhances the flavor, but you can substitute with dried herbs if fresh isn't available. Just remember to reduce the quantity by about half because dried herbs are more concentrated.

This Sausage and Cauliflower Casserole is a delightful and filling meal that brings together savory sausages, tender cauliflower, and aromatic herbs in a harmonious blend. Whether you're hosting a family dinner or just want a comforting meal, this casserole is sure to please everyone around the table. Enjoy it with your favorite side dish or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
