Surprise South Beach Mashed “Potatoes”
Seriously, you’ll love ‘em. This dish is so popular that it now appears on gourmet restaurant menus. This summer when you’re at the farmers’ market and you see cauliflower, instead of saying. “Oh yeah, been there done that”, pick up a couple. You’ll be amazed. Or try growing them.
I’d also like to suggest that you try growing sweet potatoes. They’re so easy. Just plant the slips in hills, keep them weeded and give them enough room for the runners to spread out. And as you also know from growing them on a window sill, they’re beautiful.
Recipe
4 cups of cauliflower florets
a little melted butter (South Beach makes it fake butter spray)
1 ounce of milk or half & half
pinch salt and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Steam or microwave the cauliflower until soft. Drain well and puree in a food processor adding the butter and half & half, then salt & pepper to taste.
Serves 4
