This could be a new obsession

For dinner tonight I decided to try and make mashed cauliflower. I had heard of it a while ago as a healthier alternative to mashed potatoes. It was insanely easy to make and so delicious! Please rush to the store buy a head of cauliflower and make this as soon as you can. After you eat it I dare you to not want to lick the bowl!

Mashed Cauliflower

Mashed cauliflower tastes similar to mashed potatoes but with fewer carbs. Top with chopped herbs and grated cheese if you like.

Ingredients

1 medium head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into small florets (about 6 to 7 cups) 
1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 
Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste

Method

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add cauliflower and cook until very tender, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid and then drain well and transfer cauliflower to a food processor. Add oil and reserved water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and puree until smooth. (Or, mash cauliflower with a potato masher). Season with salt and pepper and serve. Serves 4.
