Mock Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients:
2 package frozen cauliflower - (10 oz ea)
1 = (or 3/4 head fresh cauliflower)
1 tsp chicken boullion granules
1/4 tsp freshly-ground white pepper
1 tsp minced onion flakes, (optional)
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp heavy cream
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cook cauliflower in microwave or on stovetop until it is very done --
fall-apart fork tender. Drain well and mix cauliflower with all other
ingredients except cream in food processor or with a powerful mixer (hand
or stand). Mixing with mixer will give "lumpier" results than a food
processor, but some people feel the lumps make it seem even more like
mashed potatoes.
Add cream slowly and mix again. (You must be careful adding liquid. If
you add too much, you are in for trouble. Your dish may take a tiny bit
more or less than the called for amount of cream.)
Spray an ovenproof dish with cooking spray and put mixture in. Add pats of
extra butter or margarine on top if you like an extra buttery potato, and
a bit of paprika sprinkled on top adds nice color as well. Bake 15 to 20
minutes until hot.
For those of you who think they would not like this dish because they are
not fans of cauliflower, I implore you to try it -- you'll be hard pressed
to tell it from mashed potatoes -- it does not taste like cauliflower at
this point. Really.
This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings; 5 to 7 carb grams per serving.
Alternate Variations: Instead of using cauliflower, you can also use
Turnips! For this method, peel and dice turnips to very small squares and
boil till extremely tender (just short of mush!). Use the method above, or
skip the oven step if you prefer since they hold their shape better than
cauliflower. They have a very potato taste also -- you would not guess
these started their lives as turnips!
For a really rich Mock Mashed Potato, add 2 ounces Philadelphia Cream
Cheese (softened) before adding to the mixer/food processor. Adjust carbs
accordingly. Turnips have slightly less carbs than cauliflower (and more
fiber) so there's no worry of over-carbing.
