I just had the mashed cauliflower side at Ruby Tuesday's this evening and am interested in making it at home. Anyone have any low-cal, tasty recipes to share?

    In case you want their recipe look at copykat.com you may be able to find it there. That site has recipes that are close to being just like the restaurants foods.

    it's super easy

    steam it to mush, ridiculously soft, smash with sour cream & garlic powder (or fresh minced garlic). Serve.

    Google it. It is everywhere. ALSO, try Caulifower rice. I made "fried" rice with it, and my kids had NO idea it was cauliflower. Let us know if you find a great recipe!

    Oh, also cauliflower pizza! Who knew?

    This is the weight watchers recipe

    8 oz cauliflower, florets
    3 small uncooked Yukon Gold potato(es), peeled, cut into 1-inch chunks (about 10 oz)
    2 clove(s) (medium) garlic clove(s), peeled
    1 tsp table salt, divided
    1/4 cup(s) low-fat milk
    2 tsp butter
    1/8 tsp black pepper
    1 Tbsp chives, fresh, snipped

    Place cauliflower, potatoes, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a medium saucepan. Add enough water to cover ingredients and bring to a boil. Boil until vegetables are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes; drain and return to saucepan.

    Stir in milk, butter, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper; mash with a potato masher until smooth. Stir in chives and serve. Yields about 1/2 cup per serving.
    I substituted milk with non fat greek yogurt and instead of the butter I used the 0 cal butter spray - I didn't use chives

    I love Mashed Cauliflower! I make it as a side when we have Steak with Mushrooms.

    1 whole fresh head of garlic (or a large bag of frozen)
    Minced Garlic
    I can't believe it's not butter
    Skim Milk

    I usually boil the cauliflower (I don't have a steamer) until it is mushy, drain and mash.
    I add about 2tbs of minced Garlic
    1-2 tbs of Butter
    Milk till desired consistency, added a 1/2 tbs at a time.

    If you want them spicy add a little bit of Cayanne Pepper or Curry Paste, not much but enough to saturate.

    This is my favorite!

    Steam a head of Cauliflower in the microwave.
    Put in food processor with a touch of garlic powder, one laughing cow lite wedge cheese, and a splash of milk. Blend away!

    If you want a kick use a pepperjack cheese (just a touch though) or the garlic laughing cow light.

    I like mashing it with roulade garlic cheese! Yummy. It's also very tasting with bolognaise instead of pasta.

    Thanks for all of the recipes! I love it roasted. There's a recipe on allrecipes.com that is really good. I made it again for Easter. Just cauliflower (I used frozen), olive oil, garlic, parmesan, and parsley. It browns so nicely and has such great flavor.

    I love it, and especially with laughing cow. I cant really say these taste like potatoes. But since I love cauliflower, that is why I make it. I steam it soft. Then mash it up with the laughing cow and s/p(sometimes even add parm cheese. Then lay it flat on a baking sheet and bake/broil. I will eat this as my main entree for dinner.:wink:
