You may be saying, "Yuck" right about now, but trust me, don't. This is one of the tastiest things ever! Not to mention, I dare say it's. . . healthy?! Yup. These would also be a perfect substitute for mashed potatoes. They are gluten free and much better for you.
Cauliflower Mash
Serves 4
What you'll need:
1 head of cauliflower, stem removed
2 tbsp. butter (or vegan substitute)
2 tbsp. cream cheese (yes, I use low-fat)
a big handful of parmesan cheese
2 cloves of garlic, minced (super fine chop)
a big pinch of salt
chives, chopped for garnish
What you'll do:
Steam the cauliflowers in a pot until it's well done. Till you can stick a fork in it, twist and it falls apart. Drain the cauliflower really well and pat them dry. While they are still hot, place in a food processor or blender and puree.
Place back into the pot or straight into a bowl and mix in the rest of the ingredients. Garnish with some chives.
If your mash is a little thin, add a tablespoon or two of flour. (ps it won't be gluten free anymore so make sure you pat that cauliflower really dry)
Enjoy!!
We love cauliflower mash at our house! Thanks for another variation!
OOH! We’re going to try this for Thanksgiving!!
This sounds great – we’ll have to try it!
I can attest that this is DELISH, though I use fat free greek yogurt instead of the butter and cream cheese. I once ate over 1/2 lb of cauliflower for dinner this way.
