Garlic Mashed Cauliflower

By BClover

: I heard about this dish from a client of mine and found a great ED-friendly recipe at wholefoods.com. I added a little garlic to make it a bit more interesting. It's absolutely delicious, and a terrific and nutritious substitution for mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

• 1 medium head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into bite sized pieces
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

In a large stock pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add cauliflower and boil until soft, about 7 minutes. Drain and reserve about 1/2 cup of the boiling liquid. Place cauliflower and 1/4 cup boiling water, olive oil and garlic in a food processor, and blend until smooth. Add more water, if needed, and salt and pepper to taste. You can also use an electric mixer or mash by hand if a food processor is not available.
