Smashed Cauliflower Side Dish

Cook your rozen cauliflower in the microwave, for about 8 -10 minutes.

pretty bland. next time I’ll add some green onion and cheddar cheese

I used 4 cloves of garlic and roasted it before mixing. It went over VERY well in my household with 3 picky kids.

I made exactly to the recipe and tasted it but didn’t it. I added a 1/4 cup of sour cream and a spice blend from a local shop which made it much better. I will try again but only make a half recipe and try the suggestion of using laughing cow wedges.

With my version, I used fresh steamed cauliflower. I added no salt butter, minced garlic, be careful, it can be overwhelming, sour cream and a little milk in my food processor. Pulsed a few seconds, then added chives. Yummy!

I was very pleased with this recipe. I used fresh cauliflower and this was the only change I made. My husband is a mashed potato lover so I was concerned that he wouldn’t like this.. to my

Too watery… not the same consistency as mashed potatoes.

Fooled my whole family and they all loved it despite “hating” cauliflower

I used the laughing cow cheese in place of the butter. The taste was good but needed a little something more as a binder. But overall a good option!

Great side dish. Served it with a pork roast, gravy, asparagus. Worked well. My guest thought it wsa mashed potatoes and we had a great laugh after his first bite. After the initial shock as he was expecting good ole’ mashed potatoes — he admitted he liked it a lot and wanted the recipe and instructions.

I do not eat cauliflower – this I will do again and again. Fed it to my 85 year old mother and she could not tell the difference from mashed potatoes. It was not as thick as I normally eat my mashed potatoes, used fresh cauliflower and just realized not enough.

This turned out really good. Will continue making it for the family.

I found it to be disgusting!!! I cook all the time and there’s not much I don’t like, but this.

This was soooo good! I used fresh cauliflower. Steamed the cauliflower and after draining I used my magic bullet to mash before adding it back to the pot with yogurt, minced garlic, chives and salt and pepper to reheat.

I have been making this side dish for a while with a variation: I cook the cauliflower with a boullion cube added, salt to taste and minced garlic. Gives it great flavor. When done, drain and mash. I add a little greek yogurt, a pat of butter and a little grated parm cheese. Delish!

This was a great start….. I used a half head of fresh cauliflower (there is only 2 of us), steamed it until very soft, then I drained it and saved the steaming water for something else another day. Next I returned it to the same pan and mashed it with a potato masher. Then I added 4 ounces of cream cheese and mashed it all together, no salt and no butter. They were positively delicious!! I made this to go along with some organic skinless chicken breasts, that I stuffed with fresh spinach, feta cheese, sour cream and fresh garlic. I also made twice baked yams with chopped pecans and honey. This was a wonderful meal for us!!!

Love the simplicity of this recipe.. after coming home from work this is exact what I need. One tip, after u mash u have to put in blender to get that smooth texture…

I make this dish all the time but I do it differently. I use a fresh head of cauliflower and steam it until tender. Instead of butter, I add a 1/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt and a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese. I like some peoples idea of adding laughing cow herb cheese as well. I always omit salt unless it absolutely has to be added. The garlic adds a nice touch too. I think frozen cauliflower would lose a lot of the nutrients so I always use fresh ingredients.

Delicious will make again

I left out the pepper and garlic and used waaaaay less than a fourth cup of butter and a splash of milk
