I love this as a side dish! It is my go to to replace mashed potatoes,( which really have no nutritional values and are high in starch and carbs).<\/p>\n
It is a bit sweet and goes well with anything you would serve mashed potatoes with. I use an immersion blender with this but I guess a food processor or hand mixer would work just as well.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ingredients:.<\/p>\n
1 head cauliflower florets<\/p>\n
2 Tablespoons butter (or to your liking)<\/p>\n
1\/4 cup milk (I use almond but that’s because we don’t drink cows milk)<\/p>\n
1 tsp.salt and pepper<\/p>\n
Zest of 1 lemon (optional)<\/p>\n
1\/4 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1) Boil cauliflower florets in about 2 -3 inches of salted water using a stock pot until tender. Using a stock pot helps to cook cauliflower evenly and you can reuse pot for mashing instead of dirtying another bowl.<\/p>\n
Do not cook until mushy or your finished product will be watery!<\/p>\n
2) Drain cauliflower well and toss back into pot.<\/p>\n
3) Add the rest of ingredients to the cauliflower.<\/p>\n
4) Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed and taste to make sure there is enough salt and pepper.<\/p>\n
Serve warm with your choice of protein!<\/p>\n
