Creamy Cauliflower Mash with Cheese
A light, low-calorie alternative to mashed potatoes! This dish is diet-friendly and low in calories, and its smooth, puréed texture keeps you full for a long time, since it takes a while to digest. It tastes like mashed potatoes, too — a great swap for anyone who loves potatoes but can't always indulge. :-)
Cooking method
-
Step 1:
You'll need: a head of cauliflower, 3.2% milk, and processed cheese.
-
Step 2:
Break the cauliflower into florets. Rinse well. Trim the thick stems.
-
Step 3:
Drop into boiling salted water. Cook in plenty of water for 10 minutes after it returns to a boil.
-
Step 4:
Then drain the cauliflower in a colander so all the water runs off.
-
Step 5:
Transfer it to a pot or large bowl and, while it's still hot, mash it with a potato masher.
-
Step 6:
Grate the processed cheese into the milk. Set it over low heat and melt it down to the consistency of sour cream, stirring constantly.
-
Step 7:
Add it to the cauliflower.
-
Step 8:
Blend the mixture well with an immersion blender into an airy purée.
-
Step 9:
If you like, stir in some fresh herbs — green onion, dill, and so on. Enjoy!
- You can make the same purée with zucchini — just sauté the zucchini instead of boiling it.
