Creamy Mashed Cauliflower

It was tasty but nothing like the picture as it was much more watery. However that may have been my own falt for oversteaming. nevertheless a solid recipe.

Wonderful substitution for mashed potatoes. I steamed the cauliflower in the microwave with no water as it already has a substantial amount of water. I then used only the cauliflower and not the water created by microwaving it. I decided that it shouldn’t be necessary to use the processor as this is mashed and not puréed so I used my immersion blender and did not overly mix. Only added butter and a few tablespoons of heavy cream as I did not want it to end up too thin—wanted it to have the consistency of mashed potatoes as I was serving it with Beef Bourguignon. I couldn’t be more pleased of the outcome especially considering how easy this was to throw together.

We LOVE this recipe!! It’s our “go-to” when we want mashed potatoes but are trying to cut back on carbs. I use a potato masher and add extra garlic because we love garlic. I don’t change anything else.

I came across this recipe because I've been trying to eat less carbs and more fruits and vegetables. I used 2% milk, no oil, about 2 tbs of butter and added 1/4 cup of sour cream. After the hubby finished his second plate I told him those weren't mashed potatoes! I used an immersion mixer. The texture was creamy and fluffier than I expected from reading the other reviews. I'll be adding this to my future menus.

I didnt use the olive oil and was too lazy to puree so I used a masher. Still excellent! Next time I'll add a few more cloves of garlic. The texture wasn't real creamy but thats on me not using a processor. It went really great with my thai chicken curry. I needed something low carb to go with it. I'll definently make it again!

This came out perfect! I did exactly as directed except I added 2 tsp of salt instead of a 1/2 tsp and added about an 1/8 of a cup of freshly grated parmesan! It's delicious! Definitely a keeper.

The first time I made it, I used a tiny bit of parmesan cheese,. Soo delicious! The second time, I didn't have any parmesan cheese, also, sooo delicious! Remarkably Good! I did not use a steamer, Just a large pot w/a lid, steamed it just like that w/ several cloves of garlic, squeezed them out of their lil shells

yummy. nice substitute for potatoes

My whole family loved this even the picky ones, This is a keeper for us.

Used 1 large clove of garlic, substituted sour cream for buttermilk, just drizzled in a little olive oil and it was perfect! Had no issue with residue in bottom of food processor. Be sure to drain well after steaming in microwave. Butter and sour cream processed very well for a really creamy texture.

okay Be forewarned: although this is good, it tastes nothing like mashed potatoes. It is pretty good, although it did need seasonings added to it. I used mostly basil and paprika, plus a little black pepper. Not really worth the time if you don't have either a food processor or an immersion blender. To get the creaminess I had to run it through my blender two cups at a time, and the blender was getting worn out by about halfway through. Pros: Healthy Cons: needs more seasoning, requires a food processor

I WILL be making this again! I made this recipe almost as written, though I did not add in the extra EVOO at the end. I didn't think it was needed. Also, I don't have a food processor, so I used my immersion blender. I think it may have actually made it more smooth than it would have been with a food processor. When I started blending it I was afraid I'd added too much buttermilk, but in the end it was just right! This was so delicious, and it was quick to make. My 3-year-old loved 'helping' me make it, but sadly she didn't like the taste. However, her father loved it! I'm thinking of making up a bunch of this and freezing it in batches for an even quicker side dish. Pros: Quick, yummy, healthy side dish Cons: Kiddo didn't care for it

Delicious! This was my first time making mashed cauliflower, and it was awesome! I steamed my cauliflower in the microwave since I don't have a steamer basket, and it actually took quite a bit longer than suggested, I'd say about 10-12 minutes total until they were soft enough. The only changes I made were using non fat Greek yogurt instead of buttermilk (just threw in a spoonful), and I mixed in some fresh chopped rosemary along with the chives. I thought it was sooooo good, will definitely be making this again!!

Absolutely Delicious I am not a cauliflower fan by any means, well, at least until I made this recipe. I steamed a head of cauliflower and then put it in a Vita-Mix. I used Rice milk without the lemon juice or vinegar, 3 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp of butter, garlic powder and white pepper. I am now a fan of cauliflower and will add this vegetable to my repetroire.....Tasty! Pros: Easy and healthy Cons: Not this time!

Suprisingly delicious! I am neither a huge mashed potato nor cauliflower fan, but I really liked this! The garlic makes it, but you could add any number of herbs to kick it up further. I loved the lighter, non-gluey texture. I did not use but a smidge of the buttermilk as I was afraid it would turn out soupy. Husband really liked it too, though he prefers the texture of real potatoes. Pros: Super easy & fast; versatile. Cons: none

Absolutely delicious! This is absolutely delicious. I'm a huge fan of mashed cauliflower but I'd never thought of doing it in the food processor - it is so smooth and creamy! I'm non-dairy so I soured up some almond milk and they came out perfect. I was wary of the amount of salt but actually added a little bit more once they were on my plate. This recipe is a keeper! Pros: Quick, easy, tasty

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!I LOVE this recipe!! i didnt have buttermilk, skim milk, or sour cream so i used a little plain nonfat greek yogurt and they came out sooo creamy and delicious!!!

Delicious, Easy & Low Calorie Simple, Flavorful & Healthy. What more can you ask for in a recipe? I'll definitely be making this again.

Awesome and tasty I loved this recipe; however, I made half the recipe with buttermilk, the other half without (due to lactose sensitivity). Then we used it as a side to our filet mignon. Using the rosemary and mushroom gravy (which was outstanding. Yet, we used half the rosemary and used some fresh thyme also). What a great and romantic early Valentine's dinner. We also had fresh green beans with Olive Oil (extra virgin) & salt/pepper to taste. Enjoyed a nice romantic candelight dinner with my husband who helped prepare the meal. Pros: Easy, fast, not much to prep Cons: None

Delish! I recommend adding only half the buttermilk, pulsing/turning on the processor, then checking the consistency. I thought it might be too wet for my liking, and was correct. I only used 3/4 of the buttermilk the recipe calls for. After processing, I added the puree to a gratin dish, drizzled with the reserved olive oil and put under the broiler until it developed a nice crust. Then plated, snipping fresh chives over the top of each serving. Next time I think I'll add a panko/parmesan/olive oil topping before broiling to make it even more delectable. Highly recommend this recipe (especially for vegetarians, and it could easily be made vegan)!!!
