And

Mashed cauliflower tastes similar to mashed potatoes but reduces the carbohydrates. This simple recipe produces a smooth and creamy dish, and you can add a bit of cream, if desired.

Serves 4
1 medium head organic cauliflower, cut into small florets (about 6-7 cups)
2–3 TB extra virgin olive oil
2–4 TB water
sea salt to taste
Boil the cauliflower in water until very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and place in a blender or food processor. Add olive oil and water, one tablespoon at a time until a smooth consistency, similar to mashed potatoes, is reached. Season with salt and serve immediately.
