I made this mash as an alternative to the one with cheese I got from the ADA's Diabetic Food Hub as not all proteins go well with a cheese flavor. As it turns out, my version is quite versatile and goes with just about any protein. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 1 medium yellow onion - minced
- 2-3 tbsp salted butter - as needed
- flavored bread crumbs - as needed
- salt & pepper to taste
Cut up the cauliflower and use your preferred cooking method until the florets are moderately soft. I simmer/steam in my Guardian Service - lid on.
While the cauliflower is cooking, mince the onion and saute in a bit of olive oil until translucent and slightly browned. Set aside for later, including saute oil for flavor.
Once the cauliflower is cooked, use a potato masher to break up the florets.
Add butter and puree the cauliflower using a stick blender. Add salt, pepper, butter and maybe flavored bread crumbs until you achieve a consistency and flavor to your liking.
Finally add the sauteed onion to the mix and blend well. Set the mash aside and keep warm.
Blessed be... and happy cooking!
