Recipe: Cauliflower mashed 'potatoes'Mayoclinic.com
Serves 4
I just went to Don Quiote and bought 3 heads of caulifower for $1.99/pound. I am going to save 2 heads for Thanksgiving and practice with 1 head tomorrow. It's a good idea to practice cooking this new dish, and I think I will serve it to my husband in order to get his "approval" before I serve it to the in-laws. Let me know how yours turns out!
Enjoy!- Emily
Ingredients
1 head cauliflower
1 clove garlic
1 leek, white only, split in 4 pieces
1 tablespoon soft-tub margarine, nonhydrogenated
Pepper to taste
Directions
Break cauliflower into small pieces. In a good-sized saucepan, steam cauliflower, garlic and leeks in water until completely tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. While cauliflower is hot, puree until the vegetables resemble mashed potatoes. (Use a food processor, of if you prefer a smoother texture, use a blender. Process only a small portion at a time, holding the blender lid on firmly with a tea towel.) Add a little hot water if vegetables seem dry. Stir in margarine and pepper to taste.
