If you’re a carb watcher, here’s a great alternative to
mashed potatoes!
We like cauliflower and eat it fairly often. A friend gave me this recipe a while
back, and I just got around to making it recently. You know ~ so many recipes, so little time…
Now that I’ve made it, and know how
delicious it is, it will be on our dinner table often. The low calorie cheese is a perfect
blend, and the caraway seeds add a distinctly sweet but tangy flavor. If you
don’t care for caraway seeds, substitute dill, or omit it altogether. This is our new favorite side dish now!
Mashed Cauliflower w/Garlic Herb Cheese
Ingredients:
4 cups cauliflower, fresh or frozen
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon seasoned pepper
½ teaspoon garlic, minced
½ teaspoon caraway seed
4 ounce package Alouette Light Garlic & Herb Cheese
½ teaspoon chopped chives, for garnish (I forgot)
Method:
Steam cauliflower until very tender.
Add remaining ingredients, except chives.
Mash with a potato masher.
Sprinkle chives over top for garnish and serve.
This was a hit for us and is “waist-friendly” too!

ReplyDeleteI have heard cauliflower mashed pot.
ReplyDeleteJust have never tried them...I love cauliflower and I love creamed potatoes, so I almost positive this would be a winner recipe for me...
Gonna try it.
I should make this too, been eating too much fatty food! Sounds delicious and so easy, only thing is our cheeses here don't come cheap:S
ReplyDeleteI love these! I use cream cheese. Delicious mashed potato replacement.
ReplyDeleteSounds great and a good alternative to mashed potatoes! Plus caraway seeds are supposed to be very good for you...can't remember why, but I think Dr. Oz said so:-).
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to eat less carbs. This looks great.
ReplyDeleteI love this! My family is less enthused which is why I mix it with SOME real potato, it's less noticeable that way. I personally would just love it this way! Love the caraway seed in it, sounds good!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like something we would really like. Retirement has not helped Nigel's waist so this might :) Diane
ReplyDeleteI've tried mashed cauliflower before.. it was pretty good... your version sounds even better! Love the cheese you used.
ReplyDeleteMashed cauliflower sounds as wonderful. Something I wanted to try long long time ago.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy & have a good day.
