CREAMY MASHED CAULIFLOWER (Fake Mashed Potatoes)

Category: Cauliflower

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp sugar or Splenda
Salt and white pepper
1/8 tsp garlic powder and powder

Divide a head of cauliflower into florets and steam or boil until tender - about 25 minutes. Drain the cauliflower. Put the cauliflower in a food processor along with about 1/2 cup of cream so it puree's smoothly, add a bit more if you need to. Puree the cauliflower on high speed until smooth, but with some very small pieces of cauliflower remaining in the mix for just a bit of texture.

Pour all of the pureed cauliflower into a medium saucepan. Add the rest of the cream (as needed to get the consistency of mashed potatoes - don't use all of it if you don't need to), salt, white pepper, garlic powder and onion powder and stir. Cook over medium-low, stirring often, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until thick. Serves 3-4
