Mashed Cauliflower

bsidebella

I have some leftover cauliflower from making the pizza crust a few days ago, now I'm thinking I'm going to use it to make mashed cauliflower to accompany tomorrow's dinner. So, does anyone have any good mashed cauliflower recipes?

Look at my blog I just posted a recipe last week for cheesy mashed cauliflower and it was really good. The link to my blog is in my signature.

I made mashed cauliflower from SkinnyTaste on Friday & it was so so good: 

1 head cauliflower, cut up into florets

4 cloves crushed garlic

1/3 cup 1% buttermilk  (I actually used reduced-fat sour cream instead of this)

salt & pepper to taste

1 tbsp light butter

Steam/boil cauliflower & garlic until soft. Drain. Add buttermilk (or sour cream), light butter, salt & pepper & puree with a hand blender (I used a regular blender).  

Makes 4 servings.

I just steam it till it's super soft and falling apart, throw it in the food processor with several large spoonfuls of Brummel and Brown and just a splash of skim milk. Then I add S&P when I get it on my plate.
But rdr's recipe looks way better and I think I'm gonna try that

Thanks y'all! danser, yours sounds deeeelish and it looks so simple. I might have to add some cheese to my mashed cauliflower! rdr, can I use regular milk, or half-and-half? Or does it have to be sour cream? I can't buy buttermilk because my supermarket only sells it in a quart sized container; I'm not gonna buy a whole quart just so I can use 1/3 of a cup and the rest will go bad. beanbot, what's Brummel & Brown?

<div>I guess you could use any of that. I substituted reduced-fat sour cream for the same reason, but wanted to still keep the points low. </div>

OMG.  FI does.  I'll ask him.  He made cauliflower taste like alfredo sauce the other day.  NOM!

I boil it in chicken broth until it's soft, then keep it on the heat (without draining it) while I mash it down.  That lets most of the liquid cook out and leave the flavor from the broth behind.  Then I finish the mashing with a handblender and add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese.

Last time I made it, I ate the entire batch in one sitting.
