MASHED CAULIFLOWER

Not only is mashed cauliflower low-carb, and keto-friendly, but it is super tasty. The blend of white cheddar cheese and Parmesan give it a nutty, rich flavor. Here is my take on a healthier version of mashed potatoes. My Mashed Cauliflower is delicious, and so easy to make. Your family with love the flavor. It will surely become one of your new favorite side dishes! Serve it up with your favorite protein. I served mine with cast iron seared chicken breasts coated with JD’s Rub. I have also used as a side for my grilled salmon and pork chops.

Another benefit of this recipe is that it is super quick to prepare. Plan on just about fifteen minutes from prep to plate. Serve this Mashed Cauliflower as an alternative to mashed potatoes for your Thanksgiving Dinner, or as a substitute in my Salisbury Steak dinner. Leftovers are fabulous and can be enjoyed up to two days in the fridge. I have yet to freeze this dish, but I may next time just to see how the cream and cheese hold up. I am going to give it a “no-go” for now. Believe me, this will be gobbled up so fast there may not even be a chance that you will have any left.

HOW TO PREPARE MASHED CAULIFLOWER

Cut the cauliflower into florets. Discard the hard core. Add broth (stock) and cauliflower to pot. Bring to just under a boil. I love using this chicken stock from College Inn. Season with kosher salt. Allow to cook and soften for just about eight to ten minutes. Drain cauliflower (do not rinse) and dumb back into pot. To the same pot, add the cheddar cheese, whipping cream, Parmesan cheese, sour cream and butter. Mash with a hand mixer. Season with a touch of kosher salt and black pepper.

Feel free to change up the cheese blend to your liking. I have found that this combination of cheeses work best. Let me know if you experiment with others. I’m thinking a nice Gruyerè would work well too!

Also, I have never used frozen cauliflower in this preparation. The only problem I could foresee is the consistency of the finished dish. Wondering if it could get a bit mushy? I’m going to stick to fresh, but if you venture into the frozen foods, let me know.

I am more than just recipes. I love fashion and style too! Most importantly, I love my Family (my Hubby and my Fur Babies). My Husband (aka my “Kitchen Bitch”) means the world to me. He’s pretty damn cool too. Not only is he one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, he also has had a lengthy career in professional hockey. Not only winning two Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the early ’90’s, but most recently winning the Calder Cup with the Charlotte Checkers, amongst many other accolades. If you live in Charlotte and play hockey, or have a family member who plays, be sure to contact him. He may just be the best in the world! No joke!

Our life has changed dramatically in the past few years with the passing of our two goldendoodles, Vegas and Viva. We were lucky enough to have Vegas for five years (totally wish it was longer). Most recently, losing our Viva to a brain tumor in July of 2020. We welcomed our mini goldendoodle 7, almost seven years ago. We just added the amazing Hazel! Of course, I am always posting tons and tons of photos! Be sure to check out my recipe for Pet Bone Broth! This broth is super rich in nutrients and will provide your pet with a multitude of health benefits!
