Zone Holiday Side Dish of the Week

Cauliflower Mashed "Potatoes"
This take on a classic side dish will satisfy your craving for spuds without all of the extra carbs!  I was surprised by how close to the real thing this tasted. 

For this recipe you will need:
1 head of cauliflower
1 clove of minced garlic-about one tsp
1/8 tsp of white pepper/salt
2 tbsp of butter

Bring a pot of water to boil (~4 cups) and place washed head of cauliflower (leaves removed) in the pot (alternatively may dice up head and place in vegetable steamer).  Cook the cauliflower until very fork soft.  Drain well.  Puree the cauliflower with the butter, garlic.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Try topping it with paprika and/or rosemary.*

1 1/4 cups = 1 block of carbs and 2 blocks of fat.
