? for DobieDad fony mashed potatoes or cauli ideas

DTM

I had a question on your phony mashed spuds.
Do you roast the garlic or add raw?
Really looking for a way to do cauli...challenging for me to cook and eat. I'll try your post line..
DobieMom put together her famous (in this house) phony mashed potatoes (steamed cauliflower whipped with butter, mayo and about a thousand cloves of garlic - - oh, so good!).
But help would be great.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan,[p]In close consultation with DobieMom I found out that her starting point for this is a recipe from 'The Ultimate Low-Carb Diet Cookbook' by Donna Pliner Rodnitzky (2001), page 287.[p]It calls for
1 lb cauli broken into small florets and steamed
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 Tbsp butter at room temp
1/4 tsp coarse salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper[p]Well, my wife altered the above in the following way[p]substitute mayo for the cream
add one clove of crushed fresh garlic (a little goes a looong way!!!)[p]
Add all to the bowl of a food processor and process until pureed.
Check the seasonings and add salt or pepper as needed.[p]I mentioned your suggestion of roasting the garlic first, and got a knowing smile in return. Looks like we will soon try this with roasted garlic![p]Thanks for the question![p]DD & DM

AZRP,[p]Thanks. We've done the low carb thing a couple of times in the past.[p]We've kept using this recipe because we like it, but we are not on any diet at the present time . . . and it shows . . . sigh . . . :-([p]This will kick-start us.[p]DD
