ANOTHER MOCK MASHED POTATOES (MASHED CAULIFLOWER)-LOW CARB



Another Mock Mashed Potatoes (mashed Cauliflower)-low Carb image

I saw this recipe made on the new low carb cooking show on Food Network. I tried the recipe tonight and it is really so good - this is my spin on the recipe. This time, I omitted the rosemary and used raw minced garlic, but you may also use a few cloves of roasted garlic if you prefer. This version is different from many others as there is no sour cream and no mayonnaise. Real comfort without all that starch. (Note: Smart Balance is a lower calorie, cholesterol reducing butter substitute).

MOCK MASHED POTATOES



Mock Mashed Potatoes image

This creamy, garlicky mash is made from cauliflower instead of potatoes. We use garlic and thyme for depth and nonfat Greek yogurt and a little Parmesan for dairy richness and tang.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 medium heads cauliflower (1 1/2 pounds each)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Core the cauliflower heads and cut the stems and florets into 1-inch pieces.
  • Bring 1 inch water to a boil in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer insert. Put the cauliflower into the pot, cover and steam until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Lift the cauliflower pieces from the saucepan and spread out on a large platter lined with a clean kitchen towel. Let the cauliflower dry for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the oil, thyme and garlic in a small nonstick skillet. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Scrape the garlic oil into the bowl of a food processor.
  • Add the cauliflower, yogurt, Parmesan, and 1 teaspoon salt and several turns of black pepper to the food processor and blend until smooth and light, scraping down the bowl as needed. Transfer to a bowl and top with the butter and some more black pepper. Stir the butter into the cauliflower before serving.
