Mashed potatoes (cauliflower)

[Seashell]

Not sure if anyone else has already posted this in the past, but I just discovered it, and it tastes great! Good substitute if you're missing mashed potatoes:

boil 2 cups of cauliflower until soft
mash it with a ... masher? (that thing you squish potatoes with)
add 3 tablespoons of cream cheese (it should melt in there)
salt & pepper to taste
stir and YUMMY!!!!!

Total:
207 cals
16 fat
7 carbs
8 protein

(as per fitday)

I like to use a Hand blender to mix up the cauliflower till its super creamy. I also spray some "I cant beleive its not butter spray" in there.

I've done this with a mixture of cauli and brocolli and melted in some low fat cheese :-D

Is that the total cals for all of it or per serving?

Dayna: All of it.

[Seashell]

Dayna, my boss is low-carbing and he brought it in, I had a bite and was so impressed, tastes GOOD!!!

I am starting my cutting diet next week. I got a million ideas in my head for clean food that actually taste good this is one of them now.

[PancakeFiend]

I like using a blender instead of masher

 

[Seashell]

I'm going to try with tzatziki instead of cream cheese to lower the fat a bit... hopefully it tastes good still..

 

[superqt4u2nv]

I used the Ultar low fat philly when I made it. You can have yougurt when low carbing it? I have a ton of tzatiziki in my fridge from the last time I made lamb.

[superqt4u2nv]

Obiwan how come when I make my own it always seems more runny then the kind I get at a greek resturant? What could i be doing wrong?

 

[Nonerz]

If you have a specific recipie, I'd love to make it...

Olive oil.


You can also cook some red cabbage and shredded carrots and mix in with the cauliflower.

Some people use mayo as well.
Season well - try some white pepper, nutmeg and if you're using it some kosher salt.

simple solution is to sit it in a coffee fiter for a few hours but the truth is:

k first off they do not use regular yoghurt
the stuff they use is called pressed yoghurt
you can make you own by putting your yoghurt in a coffee filter then into a strainer over a bowl in the refrig overnight
and as for the cukes, grate them, salt them then sit them in a colander for 20 minutes

suggest

1 750 ml plain yoghurt, set in a coffe filter to drain over night *
1 english cucumber, washed, grated and salted left to drain
2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tsp white vinegar
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste


when every thing is prepared combine and let sit at least 20 minutes
*(lo fat or full fat does not matter i use bulgarian.......check the labels they are not thickening yoghurt and sour cream with modified corn start...bulgarian tends to be unadulterated)
