cauliflower, broccoli and celery again. This excludes organics. In this Sunday's Target ad here in Cedar Rapids, Iowa cauliflower and broccoli are .99cents!!! Can you say free!!! Yes you can!!!! BTW celery was 1.39!!!I got five FREE heads of cauliflower on Sunday. You may wonder what I will do with FIVE heads of cauliflower. Yup...I am going to use it all....keep reading to see how I plan to preserve these FREE veggies.
I cut it up and steamed it in about 3 cups water in this big stock pot. I wanted to steam it rather than boil it to keep the nutrients. You do have to like the taste of cauliflower, which I do!!! You do have to tolerate the smell while it cooks, which I don’t mind but the family kept saying what is that smell??? 1 cup comes out to 1 point, 2 cups is 3 points if you are following weight watchers, which I am!!!! Nutrition per cup is 75 calories/2 fat/4 fiber.
After its tender, about 45 minutes steaming in the stock pot drain the water and mash it using a hand mixer.
I will use this mashed cauliflower as faux mashed potatoes, also it makes good cheesy cauliflower soup. I have also make augrain cauliflower with sour cream and cheese. I have topped it on shepard's pie in place of mashed potatoes.Mashed cauliflower also freezes very well and keeps good for several months.
