I had been wanting to try mashed cauliflower for a while and I found this recipe at Rachel Scultz. This is SO easy and was really good. I like cauliflower, but this is definitely a more enjoyable way of eating it. I didn't add as much cheese as the original recipe so I could slim it down a little bit.
Ingredients:
1 head of cauliflower (washed)
1/2 cup fat-free cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated part-skim parmesan cheese
chives
salt & pepper
1. Cut the cauliflower into florets and boil f0r 6-7 minutes. Use a fork to make sure they are tender.
2. Strain the cauliflower and blend it in a food processor or blender until it reaches your desired consistency. Add in the cheese, salt, and pepper and process until mixed.
3. Top with chives, if desired!
This was a great side to go with steak and corn on the cob!
A fourth of the recipe is approximately 118 calories!
ENJOY!
This looks so delicious! I absolutely love cauliflower, I usually just roast it to give it lots of flavor or use it in casseroles, but this looks like such a delicious way to make it! Thanks for sharing, I'll definitely give this a try!!!

ReplyDeleteLooks yummy! My kids love cheese so this looks like a clever vegetable disguise. Visiting from Tatertots and Jello.
