With summer right around the corner my boyfriend has been
begging me to cut back on carbohydrates. So in an effort to keep us both happy (insert smiley face) I decided to reinvent some of my favorite dishes using other, more healthful, ingredients. I recreated my most delicious garlic mashed potatoes using ever so healthy cauliflower and it was a huge success and plentiful-we had creamy smashed cauliflower all week!
Ingredients
1 large head cauliflower
2 cups water
4 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup 1% milk
¼ cup chopped scallion
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
Steam cauliflower stove top until soft. Drain water from the pot and slightly smash cauliflower, butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper with a fork. Next add milk, cheese and scallions and using an immersion blender fully smash the cauliflower until desired consistency. Garnish with additional shredded cheddar and scallions and serve hot.
