Imitation mashed potatoes

topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium heads of cauliflower (700 g each)
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 0.5 cups low-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 tbsp. grated parmesan
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Preparation:

  1. Remove the stems from the cauliflower heads and cut them and the florets into 2cm pieces.
  2. Bring 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water to a boil in a large saucepan and place a steamer basket on top. Place the cauliflower in the saucepan, cover, and steam until tender, 10-12 minutes. Remove the cauliflower pieces from the saucepan and arrange them on a large plate lined with a clean kitchen towel. Let the cauliflower drain for 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, combine the olive oil, thyme, and garlic in a small nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the garlic begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer the oil and garlic to the bowl of a food processor.
  4. Add the cauliflower, yogurt, Parmesan, 1 teaspoon of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper to a food processor and process until smooth and light, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Transfer to a bowl and top with butter. Season with pepper. Before serving, stir the butter into the cauliflower puree.
