Cauliflower & Parsnip Puree image

This is a very tasty replacement for mashed potatoes. My boyfriend was absolutely shocked when I told him what the ingredients were and then he asked for seconds. He even commented that he guessed that giving up mashed potatoes would be ok with him if he could have this instead. Oh, did I mention that he's a meat & potato man from Texas? High praise, indeed.

This puree was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time, like garlic or thyme.

I've made this puree several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and it's a great way to get your veggies in. I usually add a little bit of grated Parmesan cheese to the top before serving.

I'm not a huge fan of cauliflower, but this puree was amazing! The parsnips really mellowed out the flavor of the cauliflower, and the end result was a delicious, creamy puree that I could eat every day.
