Cauliflower-Leek Puree - Atkins Recipe
Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower, separated into florets
1 leek, white and 1' green, well washed, 1/2' slices
1 tsp salt, divided
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp cream
1/8 tsp nutmeg (optional)
salt and pepper
Instructions:
Leeks are relatively low in carbs (for a member of the onion family) and
have a fresh flavor which pairs well with cauliflower. The single leek used
here turns this dish into a close double for mashed potatoes.
1. Cook cauliflower and leeks in lightly salted boiling water 15 minutes,
until very tender. Drain; return veggies to pot and toss over high heat to
thoroughly remove excess moisture.
2. Place half the vegetables in food processor with half the butter and
cream. Process until smooth. Repeat with remaining vegetables, butter, and
cream. Mix in nutmeg; season to taste with salt and pepper.

I used to spend whole days without food and whole nights without sleep in order to meditate. But I made no progress. Study, I found, was
better.
