I found this idea on some thread here and tried it nice before last alongside salmon and steamed veggies. I first steamed the cauliflower until it was pierced easily. Then I added my 5 Calorie margarine, salt and pepper and mashed the heck out of it. OMG! I cannot believe I never knew about this. I absolutely adore it and cannot wait to make more.

I was surprised as well. I mashed the cauliflower with a couple potatoes to put on a shepherd's pie. I thought it would be overwhelming, but it was good. The whole family just thought it was mashed potatoes. Bonus!

Thanks for reminding me. I used to make this all the time several years ago when I was on the Atkins but totally forgot about it.

Ive attempted this two times. The first time I only had a blender and I added way too much milk, so blahhhh. The second time I did it I just mashed it with a manual masher and it was descent, but not wonderful. I wish I could get it to turn out, I love cauliflour and am on a low carb diet. Maybe I'll try again soon....

Mashed is good... I also like it roasted. WOW, it's so good ! It was on sale last week for $.98 a HEAD last week at our local Wal-mart. I ate a bunch!!!

I grew up in the Mississippi Delta on a rice farm, so we I grew up with rice at every meal. It's one of those things I've had to modify as obviously rice and gravy every dinner got me into this mess ;>

I also like to pulse some in the food processor for a bit (just to break it up into smaller hunks), pop it into the microwave for a bit and then mix half and half with my brown rice. I can't tell a difference when it's all mixed up.

I sprinkled mine with chives. My family didn't know it wasn't potatoes until I told them. I didn't add milk. I only added Smart Squeeze 5 calorie margarine, salt and pepper like I mentioned above. I can tell you this, this will be a staple in our home from now on.

I need to figure this out.I tried it twice but the texture was really funny?

[Thighs Be Gone]

Maybe try steaming it longer than usual. There were some little bits here or there in it but for the difference in calories between cauliflower and potatoes, I am WAY okay with it.

[amynbebes]

I love it but haven't eaten it in a long while. I'll have to pick up some this weekend

[JenMusic]

I love it! Something that works really well for me is using my immersion (stick) blender, which really helps it get a great texture.

[harrismm]

Thanks!I will try the blender.

I also tried this YESTERDAY. I was AMAZED! I wish I discovered it before! I've been low-carbing it since New Years and I can't believe I've missed two whole months of mashed cauliflower goodness

Next time you have it try it with some herbs and a little cream cheese instead of margerine. It is delicious that way.
