Heres a new recipes for you!
This is a dish that I've been making for years now. Its a take on mashed potatoes- minus the carbs and calories! Its very easy to make, and doesn't take long. 5 Ingredients- GO!
Ingredients:
- 1 Large Cauliflower
- 1 Medium Onion
- Garlic (to taste)
- Greek Seasoning
- Vegetable Broth
Boil water on the stove in a large pot. Add the vegetable broth and greek seasoning.
Cut the cauliflower into small chunks, place in the boiling water.
Chop an onion up, and place as many pieces of garlic that you'd like in the pot.
Turn down the heat to about medium, so that it does not overflow.
Keep checking your cauliflower, you do NOT want it to be over cooked, but just soft enough. I find that if you let it get too cooked, it turns out watery (which is not good)
So when soft, yet still firm, drain your cauliflower in a strainer. Once water is gone, place back into your large pot. With a hand held electric blender, mix your cauliflower/onion/garlic mix until blended.
Add more seasonings to taste, and top with anything you'd like!
Personally, last night I put a mix of rice vinegar, kraft fat-free italian, greek seasoning, nutritional yeast flakes, and a bit of spicy brown mustard.. and maybe some salsa too. Yeah I like seasonings, what can I say- Anyhow it was delicious!
Butter spray would be good on here as well, making it more like traditional mashed potatoes.
Each cup of cauliflower, in weight watchers points, is ZERO- FREE! So eat your heart out. I will usually count each cup as one point (considering the array of seasonings and sauces I put on it- but still this is a very low cal option) Great to bring to a thanksgiving/holiday dinner or gathering- people will love it !
( I also like to roast red pepper or zucchini with some greek seasoning in the oven, and mix this in- its so delicious!)
Next: Pumpkin pie! At 1 point per serving :D (Im just perfecting the recipe before I add it-yes there has been many "testing" nights :) yum!)
