I sometimes speak a recipe the way I do driving directions. Here we go with my tweaked mashed cauliflower:
Take a head of cauliflower, wash, break apart and boil til soft in slightly salted water. Meanwhile scrub a large sweet potato, and cook in microwave 3 minutes. Peel, chop to pieces and add to cauliflower for the last five minutes of cooking. Throw in some minced dried onion. Drain and mash with: garlic, a spoonful of butter. a tad of salt, onion powder, sour cream, a tad of milk and a handful of grated cheddar cheese. It was so colorful ... and a (fairly) healthy substitute for a starch with our meal.
Hi Dotsie
ReplyDeleteI have never thought to add another veggie to cauliflower and I like this idea! To my mashed potatoes I am adding a parsnip thanks to someone's suggestion. It could have been you! My husband does not like parsnips and I grin like a Cheshire cat every time he eats the potatoes and doesn't know. :-)

That sounds good for lovers of cauliflower. John would love it and if I were a good wife... I always make cauliflower into a slaw with dressing and parmesan cheese. Some gals just never grow up (me)!
ReplyDeleteWe like cauliflower a lot but I've never mashed it. Sounds delicious! One question: Is a "tad" more or less than a "pinch"? = )
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Best,
Bonnie
I am soooo sending this to my vegetarian sister! Thanks Podso!
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing at Judith's sneaky nature...too funny! We do the same, trying to hide veggies in various foods for the grandkidlets.

I like cauliflower in almost any form, but I've never tried it mashed. The addition of sweet potato would be great. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteOmygoodness!!! That sounds amazing, I love sweet potatoes and cauliflower, that would be the perfect way to get hubby to eat cauliflower.
ReplyDeleteThanks dear lady for the recipe.
Hugs, Cindy
Podso,
ReplyDeleteY U M M Y! I love califlower...and the spices and seasonings you used are also my favorites!!! Believe me, I laughed when I read the nearly antique mixer...mine, too! Have a wonderful weekend, dear friend!
Fondly,
Pat
This sounds quite delicious.
ReplyDeleteYou must have been born with the makings of a chef, this sounds so good. We usually steam our cauliflower or eat it raw...we'd make good pioneers maybe? =).
ReplyDeleteWe love mashed cauliflower, too!! And, no matter how we tweak it, the version we are eating is always our "favorite"! ;)
ReplyDeleteOkay, are the eggs ceramic?
I recently had to go on a lactose free diet and I can modify your great sounding recipe just for me!!! I love cauliflower and sweet potatoes. Thank you. I'm now following your blog - for some reason, my profile pic shows up as an anonymous head!!!
