GARLIC MASHED CAULIFLOWER



Garlic Mashed Cauliflower image

This recipe is so easy and healthy. I love mashed potatoes, and when I started the South Beach Diet® and couldn't have them, I had to find an alternative. This is an awesome alternative, and people who hate vegetables love it. I do recommend using a large food processor for this recipe.

SLOW COOKER GARLIC-HERB MASHED CAULIFLOWER



Slow cooker garlic-herb mashed cauliflower image

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 head Cauliflower
4 cups Vegetable Broth
1/3 cup Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
3 tablespoon Butter- cubed
2 tablespoon Chopped Fresh Chives
1 tablespoon Chopped fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Place the cauliflower, garlic and broth inside the slow cooker. The cauliflower should be fully covered with broth. If it isn't (it can vary based on the size and shape of your slow cooker), add a little water until it is.
  • Turn the slow cooker on high and cook until the cauliflower is very tender, 2½ to 3 hours. Drain the cauliflower and garlic through a strainer, reserving ½ cup of the broth.
  • Use a potato masher or large fork to coarsely mash the cauliflower. Once it's coarsely mashed, add the butter and yogurt, and mash until relatively smooth (if it's too stiff, ladle in up to ½ cup of the reserved cooking broth).
  • Stir in the chives, parsley, rosemary and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm cauliflower for the best flavor and texture.
  • Cut the cauliflower into small florets for even cooking.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the cauliflower until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Add garlic, herbs, and spices to taste.
  • Cook the mashed cauliflower in a slow cooker on low for 4-6 hours, or until it is tender and heated through.
  • Serve the mashed cauliflower hot, topped with your favorite garnishes.
