Mashed cauliflower
Options
I made this one with meatloaf yesterday. Tastes remarkably similar to mashed potatoes but it's great without gravy.

mashed cauliflower tastes not even remotely close to the real thing,imo. I'm sure this is a good option for some,though.0

This is the one I use and I absolutely love it.....
What you will need:
1 head of cauliflower
1 tablespoon of cream cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon of salt
5 or so dashes of pepper
Chives for garnish
Directions:
Wash and cut cauliflower into small pieces. Boil in a pot of water for about 10-15 minutes or until soft and cooked.
Drain and dry using paper towels. Immediately place in food processor or blender. You do not want the cauliflower to cool.
Puree the cauliflower with the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt and pepper.
Sprinkle the top with chives and a few dashes of pepper. Serve!0 -

I LOVE mashed cauliflower!! I always add a little garlic powder too for some extra oomph. I like making this more than mashed potatoes because it's easier haha.0

I love mashing it and using it as rice. Unless I am doing something wrong, it stays as small little pieces when mashed. Soooooo I use my in place of rice. Add alittle Wildtree Asian Ginger Sauce, some sauted onions, green peppers and mushrooms, and sometimes some chicken or steak.0
