Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 cups pumpkin seeds raw
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 stalks celery roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup leek bulb finely chopped
  • 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
  • 8 ozs white button mushrooms roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup organic vegetable broth low sodium
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt coconut oil. Add pumpkin seeds and toast until just golden, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium and, to the same skillet, add celery, onion, and leek and sauté until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Add cauliflower, mushrooms, vegetable broth, rosemary, sage, celery salt, pepper, and salt and continue to sauté until all ingredients are well-incorporated and tender, breaking apart cauliflower florets as they soften, all liquid is absorbed, and cauliflower florets begin to lightly brown, about 30-35 minutes.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

You may have heard that nuts, beans, and whole grains are not a great choice for a kidney-friendly diet because they are high in phosphorus.  Wondering why we include them in many of our recipes?  We include beans, nuts, and whole grains because only about 40% of phosphorus found in these plant foods are absorbed by humans. This makes them a good fit for most people's diets! If you have questions about adding these foods to your diet, please reach out to your dietitian.
