It
is a never ending challenge to incorporate enough vegetables into our daily
diet (and just to get kids to eat them). This recipe, however, is an easy and delicious way to incorporate cauliflower,
a healthy and highly nutritious vegetable.
Although using cauliflower to make Notatoes (or Fauxtatoes) is nothing
new, this recipe has garnered the most raves from my in-house test team. While this dish probably cannot be passed off for actual mashed potatoes, it has a rich flavor and creamy texture that goes great with anything regular mashed potatoes would.
Ingredients:
- 1 Large Head Cauliflower
- Enough Water to steam cauliflower
- 1 tsp. Crushed Garlic (optional)
- ¼ C Soy Free Vegannaise
- ¼ tsp. Salt
- ½ C Shredded Daiya, Cheddar Cheese flavor
- Pepper to taste
Directions:
- Steam cauliflower in a large pot until tender, then drain water and remove steamer basket.
- Put cauliflower in a blender together with garlic, Vegannaise and salt. Blend until creamy.
- Add blended mixture back to pot over a low to medium heat.
- Add cheese to the mixture and stir occasionally until cheese is melted.
- Serve by itself or with your favorite meal.
