South Beach Cauliflower Mash With Chives - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 1/2 lbs cauliflower, cut into large florets (about 8 cups)
3 garlic cloves
2 (14 ounce) cans reduced-sodium chicken broth
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons fresh chives, chopped
3 -4 ounces fat free cream cheese (optional)
Preparation
-
Combine cauliflower, garlic cloves, and broth in a large saucepan. If cauliflower is not completely covered by the broth, add water until just covered. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until cauliflower is tender, about 12 minutes.
Reserve 2 Tbsp of the cooking liquid and drain cauliflower (don't dry it, but allow it to drain fairly thoroughly). Transfer cauliflower and garlic to the bowl of a food processor, and process until smooth, pulsing in one or two tbsp of the reserved broth, if necessary, to moisten mixture. You might want to use fat free cream cheese during this step instead of the broth for extra body and creaminess. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, stir in chopped chives. Serve warm.
