LUNCH:
Cauliflower and Goat’s Cheese Puree (Faux Mashed Potatoes)
Amount of calories:
75 calories per serving
Contains:
1⁄2 large head cauliflower, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
salt to taste
2 tablespoons fat-free whipping cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons freshly grated reduced-fat Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons reduced-fat goat’s cheese
Method of Preparation
Cook the cauliflower over medium heat in a large pot of lightly salted water
until completely tender, 20–30 minutes. Drain the cauliflower into a colander.
With a bowl or small plate, press on the cauliflower to remove all the water.
Toss the cauliflower and continue pressing. This step is very important to the
texture of the dish. Transfer the cauliflower to a food processor. Add the
whipping cream and puree until completely smooth. If you like a chunkier
texture, mash by hand, adding the cream after the cauliflower is mashed. Return to the pot, heat on low heat, and stir constantly. Add the butter, Parmesan, and goat’s cheese. Stir until blended and season with salt if necessary.
