In a hurry to go to yoga with a girlfriend. Maybe I like unemployment?! And just realized I did it again, I only had to go to the grocery store once this week! Perhaps a second challenge in the midst? Cook what you have in your fridge only. Anywho, I had seen a lot about cauliflower in vegan dishes (again, I am no vegan, just appreciate) so I was enticed but the wonders of this magical vegetable. With Thanksgiving on the horizon and a only a few necessary ingredients needed, I settled upon my own version of mashed cauliflower. Its simple, substitute cauliflower for potato and WAH LAH.
Cauliflower Mashed Goodness
1 large head of cauliflower
1/3 c. soy milk (whatever milk you like really)
2 tbs of whipping cream (again tho its optional, I just had it in fridge and thought it would be perfecto)
salt
pepper
garlic powder (I did not have a clove or two of garlic;(
nutmeg
2 tbs of olive oil
1 scoop of butter on a regular sized spoon (tbs I suppose) (butter keeps them coming back folks!)
Steam, or boil with a small amount of water in pot and lid on. Steam until the cauliflower florets are tender. Put through a food processor (or you can mash the good old fashion way) with the soy milk, cream, spices to taste, oil, and butter. You can play with it here, get it to a consistency you desire. Mine were on the looser side, meaning I added too much liquid obviously.
What emerges from the processor is something that exactly mimics the mashed potato. A great replacement for those who don't want the starchy potato. For kids, who need more veggies in their diet and loved themselves some mashed potatoes. Do enjoy, maybe even next Thursday;)
