Cauliflower Mashed "Potatoes"
Let me just start out by saying that I was NOT a believer in this when I first heard of it. In fact, it was a big HECK NO in my book. It's funny what an almost empty fridge and a need for dinner will do to you, though. The first time that I made this, I made it as a stir fry with tempeh...it was literally all that we had in our fridge and grocery shopping wasn't happening for another day. These mashed potatoes aren't a totally whipped texture, just so you know. I'm sure that you can make them that way, but I love the in between texture of a mashed potato and rice/couscous. I can add in some protein and go!
What you need
1 head of cauliflower
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Minced garlic (I'm not one to limit your garlic, go crazy!)
Pepper and salt to taste
Food processor or high-speed blender
What you need to do
1. Cut the cauliflower into smaller pieces so that they easily fit into the processor.
2. Shred the cauliflower in the processor until they reach the consistency you want (rice like or a little more fine for a mashed potato consistceny)
3. Transfer the cauliflower to a pan over medium heat and add in your garlic, cheese, and whatever spices you would like. I play around a bit each time and add something new, so just do what sounds good.
4. Cook for about 7 minutes, and you're done!
