Oh Lordy, these are YUMMY when you are watching the pounds... What a great substitute for potatoes when we want to cut out the carbs! Try them, you will LOVE them! I can't believe how WONDERFUL they are. Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower, chopped into pieces |
1 cup fat-free half-and-half |
2 tablespoons i can't believe it's not butter® spread |
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Clean the leaves off the cauliflower, and cut off the end of the stem.
2. Place on a glass plate, and add as much water into the dish as you can without spilling. Place a paper towel over the cauliflower, and put in microwave.
3. Cook on high for 10-12 minutes.
4. Take out, and cut into pieces small enough to fit in your blender.
5. Put enough cauliflower to fill blender about 1/2 way with cauliflower, add about 1/2 the half and half.
6. Turn on blender using the liquify button. Stop when it no longer seems to be mixing, and stir with a spoon. Puree until all is.
7. liquified. It will look like mashed potatoes.
8. Empty this into a dish, and add more cauliflower and half and half to the blender.
9. Repeat procedure.
10. When all done put potatoes in a glass dish and put in microwave, and heat until bubbling, about 3 minutes.
11. Serve with butter on the top, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. I used Nu-Salt.
