FAUX MASHED
POTATOES FOR A CROWD
Sometimes with a dinner for lots of
people, we want a recipe that can feed a crowd.
Believe it or not, most people, even high-carbers actually enjoy cauli
mash for a change. It’s something new
for them. This is such a tasty cauli
mash. I think it is perhaps the nicest
cauli mash I have ever made and I’ve made all sorts of different ones over the
last 16 years of low-carbing.
2 heads cauliflower
(2 lbs 6 oz (1.l kg) after cutting up into
florets)
8 oz spreadable cream cheese (250
g) OR regular cream cheese (firmer texture)
3 tbsp butter (45 mL)
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (30
mL)
2 tbsp whipping cream (30 mL) Can leave this out if your cauli is watery
1 tsp salt, OR to taste (5
mL)
1/2 tsp white pepper (2 mL)
Cook the cauliflower however you normally do and
make sure it is very soft to the tip of a sharp knife. Drain well and then place in a food
processor. Add chunks of the cream
cheese, butter, Parmesan cheese, whipping cream, salt and pepper. Process until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning, as desired.
Helpful Hints: Steaming the cauliflower will probably work better. I don't have a steamer. Leave the cream out if you find the cauli is not firm enough or add less. If it is still not the right texture, throw in a handful of grated cheese or more Parmesan. Yum!
