I Can't Believe It's Not Potato

Happy Gloomy & Rainy Tuesday all!!

We are so sorry we didn't post yesterday, but hopefully we can make up for it today with a yummy side dish recipe. This bad boy is CHEAP, FAST, EASY and WAAAAY too good to just be mashed up cauliflower.

Saturday night we baked up some beef ribs and were looking for a side dish to compliment the meal. Immediately thoughts went to mashed potatoes. We took that impulse and put a healthier spin on it, mashing up some yummy cruciferous vegetable goodness instead. Literally you CANNOT TELL IT'S NOT POTATO -- we were really surprised and thrilled because we could enjoy waaaay more cauliflower than we would be able to potato -- on account of the large amount of carbohydrate in potatoes.

I Can't Believe It's Not Potato 
      - Garlic & Butter Mashed Cauliflower

Ingredients
  • Bag of chopped cauliflower (or 1 head of cauliflower)
  • 1-2 tbsp Kerry Gold Butter
  • 1-4 cloves of garlic (we like our "potatoes" SUPER garlicky, so we opted for 3 big & 1 small clove)

Directions
1) Steam Cauliflower - We used a pot with some water and a lid to steam, you can also use a steamer.
2) Place steamed cauliflower in the food processor
3) Add 1-2 tbsp of butter and process
4) Once it starts looking mashed up, add garlic cloves to taste 
5) Puree until cauliflower looks like a uniform paste
6) Serve with protein of choice!

Saturday Night Dinner: Baked Beef Ribs, Sauteed Kale, 
and I Can't Believe It's Not Potato Garlic & Butter Cauliflower Mash

Think this whole meal looks amazing? Well it was. We will be posting the Beef Rib recipe later this week! In the meantime, try out the mash and let us know how you liked it!

  1. Coat a pan with olive or coconut oil,and saute at a medium heat. Add some salt and pepper to taste -- or get fancy with some cajun seasoning or garlic. Kale is ready when the leaves look wilted and feel soft.
