CAULIFLOWER PUREE



Cauliflower Puree image

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.

BEEF WITH CAULIFLOWER (CROCK POT)



Beef With Cauliflower (Crock Pot) image

We really enjoyed this simple low cal/low fat crock pot meal. The original recipe suggests to serve it over rice but we liked it just as it is with some sour cream (the original recipe suggests plain yogurt and cilantro instead of the sour cream). Recipe source: The Healthy Slow Cooker

QUICK BEEF STEW WITH CAULIFLOWER PUREE



Quick Beef Stew with Cauliflower Puree image

Creamy cauliflower is low in carbohydrates, making it a good accompaniment (instead of potatoes) to this rich-tasting beef stew. To keep the beef cubes from sticking to the pan, let them form a crust before turning.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 head cauliflower, (2 to 2 1/4 pounds), trimmed and broken into large florets
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds trimmed rib-eye or sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
Coarse salt and ground pepper
6 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 1/2 pounds mixed fresh mushrooms, (such as button, cremini, and stemmed shiitake), halved or quartered
1 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Place cauliflower in a large saucepan with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium. Simmer, covered, until very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Season beef generously with salt and pepper. Cook, turning, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes; transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and rosemary to skillet; cook, stirring, just until fragrant (garlic will color quickly), about 1 minute. Add mushrooms, wine, and vinegar; cover, and cook until mushrooms release their liquid, about 5 minutes. Remove lid; simmer until mushrooms are tender but mixture is still saucy, 3 to 5 minutes more. Return beef; cook until heated through.
