Want a healthier option than mashed potatoes that has a similar texture and flavor?
This is for you! Pictures to come.
Ingredients:
1 head of cauliflower, stem removed and chopped into bite-sized florets
3 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup finely grated cheese (something like parmesan or cheddar works best; goat cheese is also good)
2 T. butter
1/4 cup cooking cream
Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
Bring a large pot of water to boil and blanch the cauliflower until fork-tender, about 6-8 minutes. Drain.
Place cauliflower and garlic into a food processor or blender and puree it until creamy. If your cauliflower seems to be bunching up, add some cream until it becomes smooth.
Pour this into a pot (I use the same one) and heat over medium heat. Stirring frequently, add in the cheese(s), butter, and salt & pepper and allow cheese to melt. Cook over low for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, and then serve!
I love having this with roasts and other dishes with a gravy so I can have something to mop up the sauce with :D. My husband is less a fan of this than I am, but I think it's a great substitute.
