Reviews
Taste was good but consistency turned the mash to soup in a blender. Tried adding marscapone cheese to thicken in the blender, but it was still soup. Guests liked the flavor and were kind about the soup texture. Next time: use a potato masher to ‘mash’ and puree just a small portion to blend together.
Just Delisioso…! Great and easy. My son loved it.
It is different and my cousin loved it. She is pregnant and wants me to make it again. its almost like a new way of making mashed potatoes but the kids dont know that they are eating cauliflower.
I crave cauliflower during this pregnancy and was looking for a side dish for a Cuban inspired dinner party. Was good but had a lot of leftovers. I’ll be eating this for days!
This was such a fantastic twist on the usual cauliflower mash. It had a nice smoky flavor, and I loved the smooth texture obtained by blending it.
If you like a more chunky texture, I recommend putting the adobo sauce, lime, cream (I used cream) and seasonings in a food processor, and then adding this to the cauliflower and mashing it.
I’m not a fan of vegetables and am always looking for ways to make them more palatable without being too fattening. This recipe did the trick. I couldn’t find adobo sauce, so I used 1/4 tsp. Tabasco sauce instead. I also used low-fat sour cream and part-skim mozzarella. The flavor and texture were superb. It’s also good cold. The leftovers will make 1 or 2 lunches for me this week. I?ll definitely make this again.
Flavorful and simple!
This recipe is so creamy and buttery. It is really good. The only thing I would add is maybe a bit of heat.
Fixed this tonight for my husband and I and WOW it was awesome. Had to make a few changes because didn’t have some of the ingredients. I basically fixed it just like mashed potatoes and we loved it. It tasted just like them without the heaviness of potatoes. Thanks for the wonderful idea.
I was looking for another way to prepare cauliflower. This recipe won’t be it.
