I made cauliflower like this once and asked my family how they liked the new mashed potato recipe. They all agreed it was delicious and had seconds. I didn't tell them it was really cauliflower until the dishes were done!
Mashed Cauliflower
Mashed cauliflower is a delicious, low-starch alternative to mashed potatoes. This cruciferous vegetable is an excellent source of vitamin C, containing almost as much as oranges.Ingredients
1 lg head
cauliflower, chopped into florets and steamed
2 tbsp
low-fat milk
1⁄4 cup
low-fat sour cream
2 oz
reduced fat cheddar cheese
1⁄2 tsp
kosher salt
1⁄4 tsp
ground black pepper
If you have a pre-programmed Blendtec blender, just add the ingredients to the blender jar in the order listed and secure the lid. Press "Sauces" or blend on Medium Low (Speed 3 or 4) for 30 seconds and serve.
Some people feel that adding butter instead of sour cream gives it a more traditional mashed potato taste, and if you're not using dairy products, try substituting coconut milk or yogurt instead of milk and sour cream.
Chef Kristi leaves out the cheese and adds "nutmeg with a touch of roasted garlic and 1 tsp of balsamic glaze, which I make by reducing the balsamic vinegar by 3/4 of its starting volume, it adds the hmmm factor really nice" so there are a few variations and gourmet idea.

*As a side note, if you store leftovers in the fridge, the high water/low starch content starts to show and the water begins to separate off. Plan to make a cauliflower soup with it the next day!
