in Food and Nutrition
So I cooked some cauliflower mash for the first time last night. Use 880g of cauliflower, 1 cup skim milk, tspn garlic and a few other random spices.

For a BIG serving of 440g the nutrition stats are

Cals 146
Carbs 24g
Fat 2g
Protein 12g
Sodium 110mg
Fibre 12g


as opposed to

Potato mashed with 1% milk and unsalted butter (couldn't find any without butter? WTF?)

Cals 423
Carbs 94g
Fat 2g
Protein 12g
Sodium 66g
Fibre 8g



(above figures don't include the few random spices but SFA cals if any but a bit of sodium if that worries you.)

Tastes just as good, if not better. Try it :)

    Try steaming it til very tender. Add 1/4 c. FF plain yogurt, 1/4 c. Shredded Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste. Purée with an emersion blender til smooth!! My husband loves them!

    I love mashed califlower. My bf isn't a vege eater so I usually tend to mix it in with the potato. I should try it straight up.
