Creamed cauliflower? ooooh
I want this.
Kimberly Elaine I don’t know if you enjoy cooking, but here is the recipe…more or less:
I whizzed 1/4 of a head of cauliflower in the food processor the other day so I could add some to chili, and had lots left over. So I wanted to make some “rice” out of the rest. What happened was an accident.
I simply over-steamed it, so I decided to make it a creamy dish.
I took the leftovers (about 5 oz by volume) and threw it in a skillet with 1/2 cup water and covered it to steam–about ~10 minutes (I meant to do 5 and left it in for 8). Then I stirred it (most the liquid was absorbed or evaporated) added in a tablespoon of butter and stirred again, then added 2 tablespoons of heavy cream and 1 ounce of shredded cheese (I used Parmesan, but I suppose any kind will do, ream cheese would make it even creamier and you wouldn’t need any other cheese), and kept stirring til it came together like thick mashed potatoes (I also minced and added a clove of garlic with the cauliflower before steaming it–optional)
I call it smashed cauliflower. LOL Made it many times, but it’s been a while.
Bobbi Jo Woods That’s so easy. I always assume some things are harder the more delicious they seem.
I only tried “mashed” once before and it was awful. Turned out the cream was spoiled and made it really bitter.
Once I saw how soft the cauliflower was last night, I was going to take it a step further and whir it in my food processor or stick blender, but I was in a hurry to have dinner done before 8. I had a late start that day and I try not to eat past 7. I’ll try again soon.
Sue T. Thanks. The whole thing probably take 10-15 mins. Can be done while the meat/entree is cooking in another pan. 20 for me last night, but only because I was experimenting and thinking my next move.
I saved it, printed it and wanna maek it naow. 🙂 My aunt would make all the food group meals, I would too but as my kiddie face got older I don’t have to. So I’d rather, delicious, quicker things.
Let us know how you like it, when you try it!
Seeee?:) I have to buy some cauliflower first, but yes I will.
