Faux Garlic Smashed Potatos

http://stellastyle.com/community2/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3517

I havent tried this, but I will be soon!



Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 6 minutes
Yield: 4 servings

1 medium head cauliflower
1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon straight chicken base or bullion (may substitute 1/2 teaspoon salt)
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh or dry chives, for garnish
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Set a stockpot of water to boil over high heat.

Clean and cut cauliflower into small pieces. Cook in boiling water for about 6 minutes, or until well done. Drain well; do not let cool and pat cooked cauliflower very dry between several layers of paper towels.

In a bowl with an immersion blender, or in a food processor, puree the hot cauliflower with the cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic, chicken base, and pepper until almost smooth.
Garnish with chives, and serve hot with pats of butter.

Hint: Try roasting the garlic and adding a little fresh rosemary for a whole new taste.

That does sound good. I was thinking less carbs, but the fat content was high
It would probably still be good if there were a little less cheese and butter

Sounds fabulous to me Paul.
I don't have to worry about counting fat grams, or much of anything for that matter.
Carbs are what give me energy, and I burn them like a blast furnace
Truly a veggie recipe, innit?
Except I'll use vegetable broth.
This would go well with Tofurky at Thanksgiving.

You will really enjoy this. It is excellent. I've made mashed cauliflower on several occassions. Delicious.
