And, cauliflower has SUCH great nutritional benefits! Being in the cruciferous vegetable family, it boasts great fiber content as well as being a good antioxidant source from the Vitamin C and manganese it contains. Cauliflower also not only has a huge array of B Vitamins, but with Vitamin K and great omega 3 fatty acids, it helps with the reduction of inflammation, which in turn assists with cardiovascular health as it improves circulation. Enjoy cauliflower weekly as part of your eating regime, as whether cooked or raw, it is a fantastic source of nutritive components.
Cauliflower "Mashed Potatoes"
2 heads cauliflower, florets cut and steamed
1 lemon
2 Tbsp Smart Balance 50/50 Spread
1/2 cup low fat sour cream {OR 4 Laughing Cow cheese wedges}
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp dried chives
salt and pepper
Okay, back to the bowl of yumminess...
Proceed to blend with a hand mixer on low to fold it together and begin to break up the florets. When it is becoming more blended, take a rubber spatula and scrape the sides of the bowl in a circular fashion, pushing the contents back under the beaters to further blend and process, about 5 minutes.
I made these one day when my Mother In Law was over and she made a big show of gagging over it. Oh my goodness I loved them and my father in law loved them as well. He has asked me to make them again one day. I will have to do so without anyone knowing it (my recipe wasn't the same as yours and I am excited to try yours!) thanks for sharing! Love it!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them. I could literally inhale the entire bowlful in one breath, as they ARE so incredible, aren't they? Protein and fiber rich and simply delish.
