Anyone have a recipe to make ‘Mashed Cauliflower’…the substitute for mashed potatoes if your on a low carb/no carb diet? I think one or 2 restaurants call it california smashers?
Re: Mashed Cauliflower?
Mashed cauliflower is absolutely delicious.
Steam cauliflower florets. Add butter and parmesan cheese to taste. Mash, but not to a pulp. Add parsley if you wish.
I do not add salt to the cauliflower, if I am adding parmesan cheese.
Freshly shaved parmesan is better in this recipe than the preshaved boxed variety.

Re: Mashed Cauliflower?
Any toddler who will eat brocolli (and most will eat it happily) will probably eat mashed cauliflower with parmesan cheese.
Mashed cauliflower makes a great appetizer for entertaining! I usually spoon some mashed cauliflower onto bread croutons*, top with a thin slice of mozzarella and sprinkle paprika or laal mirch and broil for less than 5 mins, just until cheese melts. For a desi touch, you could sprinkle the top with roasted zeera and powdered mustard powder (coleman's is great).
*For croutons....slice french or italian bread, rub slices with some cut up garlic and dip very lightly (very very lightly, just a smattering) in olive oil.....and bake on a cookie sheet till slightly golden.
I have no idea if parmesan is halaal. It most probably is. But you could check with the manufacturers.

Beano zindabad!
It really works.
As a family we are trying to make a huge effort to eat healthy (eat at home, brown bag lunches to work, eat brown rice, make our own whole wheat bread with aataa, cut down very drastically on meat, eat more fish, eat lots of beans and legumes and vegetables... that kind of thing).
In the begining we got gas since our stomachs needed to adjust to the more firbrous and different protein diet. A friend clued me onto beano and it really worked. Now I guess our insides our well adjusted so we do not need anything. Actually, we feel pretty good about our diet now!
