Abundant Springs

DH and I have had this wonderful dish before but, this is the first time I've made it for our family's dinner.

If you've never had faux-tatoes or think you don't like cauliflower (I personally LOVE it!) then I encourage you to try it.  Some restaurants are now carrying this "healthier" version of mashed (whipped) potatoes.

Ingredients

1 head Cauliflower, cleaned and cored - leave the rest of the head whole

1/2 Cup Butter

1/4 Cup Cream (I use Half & Half)

Salt and Pepper to taste 

Water

Parmesan Cheese as a garnish, if desired.

Instructions

1. Boil or microwave the whole head of cauliflower until very tender.

2. Drain the cauliflower and allow to cool to room temperature.

3. Cut into manageable pieces and puree in a food processor.  **I used our smoothie maker**

4. Add butter and cream and continue to puree until blended.

5.  Season with salt and pepper. 

6.  Add parmesan cheese as a garnish before serving, if desired.

Makes 4 servings. YUM!

Instead of cream or half and half tho, I use cream cheese or sour cream. We all love this dish, except for my oldest, who prefers just steamed cauliflower. So after I steam it, I just take some out for him adn process the rest!
