Steamed Mashed Cauliflower

Steamed head of cauliflower without butter, milk, extra calories, or carbs. Very light, very tasty. My 12-year-old child is very picky, but absolutely loves my faux mashed potatoes as they are very similar in texture and taste to the real thing. As an extra we’ve even added roasted garlic cloves. Heavenly!

Step: 1

Place cauliflower florets in a large microwave-safe bowl with enough water to just cover the bottom of the bowl.

Step: 2

Cover bowl loosely with waxed paper or a paper towel and steam cauliflower in microwave on high until tender, 4 to 5 minutes; drain.

Step: 3

Place drained cauliflower in a food processor with goat cheese and puree until completely smooth; season with black pepper.
