Whipped Cauliflower
The very words mashed potatoes make you feel comforted, do they? But their high carb content, which is what makes them soothing and delicious, is also what makes them unavailable for the keto diet. No matter; you will not miss them because at the test kitchen, we’ve developed a recipe to replace mashed potatoes with low-carb cauliflower, which has the added benefit of being rich in vitamins and potassium. What’s more, this dish really resembles the original—just take a look at the next page.
Ingredients
- 1 pound cauliflower florets cut into 1-inch pieces
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon table salt
Instructions
- Bring 1 cup water to boil in large saucepan oven over high heat, then add cauliflower. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook until tender, 14 to 16 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking.
- Drain cauliflower and transfer to food processor. Add butter and salt and process until completely smooth, about 4 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Adjust consistency with hot water as needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
