4 cups cauliflower florets (from 1 small cauliflower)
3 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons milk
Pinch of ground nutmeg
4 medium tomatoes, cut in half crosswise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs made from crustless sourdough bread
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

CAULIFLOWER PUREE

This simple but surprisingly flavorful puree is a satisfying stand-in for mashed potatoes, and it couldn't be easier. There's no cream in it and only a teensy touch of butter, so it's good for anyone counting calories or carbs. It pleases the meat-and-potatoes eaters at my table, even though it contains neither.
