Mock Mashed “Potatoes”
Ingredients
- 8 cups bite-size cauliflower florets (about 1 head)
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
- ⅓ cup nonfat buttermilk
- 5 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- Snipped fresh chives for garnish
Cooking Instructions
- Cover and steam cauliflower florets and garlic in a steamer basket over boiling water until very tender, 12 to 15 minutes. (Alternatively, place florets and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl with ¼ cup water, cover and microwave on High for 3 to 5 minutes.)
- Place the cooked cauliflower and garlic in a food processor. Add buttermilk, 3 teaspoons olive oil, salt and pepper; pulse several times, then process until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and garnish with chives, if desired. Serve hot.
