As I'm sure you are aware, cauliflower is the thang these days. People turn it into pizza crust, sandwich bread layers, breadsticks, rice, etc.
I have an old recipe book from which I got this one and it is pretty close to actual mashed potatoes, so I'm sharing. Nobody else in my Family had a clue it was cauliflower.
I first tried using a hand mixer to turn the Florets into mashed potatoes, but no dice. Just put them into the Food processor as suggested and save yourself 2 more pieces of utensils to wash.
Ingredients:
2 (10-oz) pkgs cauliflower florets (6 cups)
1 Tbs butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tbs evaporated milk
1/3 c. (2.7 oz.) tub-style light cream cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions:
Steam cauliflower, covered, in a large pan 20 minutes or until very tender and drain. Melt butter in same pan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook 2 minutes or until lightly browned. Put cauliflower back in and add milk and remaining ingredients and stir. Place cauliflower mixture in a blender or food processor and process until smooth.
YIELD: 4 servings
SERVING SIZE: about 1/2 cup
POINTS: 2 points
