CONNIE'S RECIPE BOX

I have been a recipe collector and have way too many cookbooks and pages torn from magazines! I am on a quest to organize, clean out and simplify my recipes and to get back to an organized meal planning and preparation system! Recipes on this blog will have to pass the "taste test" of my family and will need to be fairly simple to make and of reasonable expense. There is also a desire to use whole grain foods and other long term food storage items!

CAULIFLOWER MASHED POTATOES

CAULIFLOWER MASHED POTATOES
Source: http://www.biggest-loser-recipes.com/cauliflower-mashed-potatoes.html

1 1/2 pounds cauliflower, 
cut into large florets (about 8 cups)
3 garlic cloves, peeled
2 (14-ounce) cans lower-sodium chicken broth
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Instructions
In a large saucepan, combine cauliflower, garlic, and broth. If cauliflower is not completely covered by broth, add water to just cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until cauliflower is tender, about 12 minutes.

Reserve 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid, then drain cauliflower and garlic. Transfer cauliflower and garlic to the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth, pulsing in some or all of the reserved cooking liquid, if necessary, to moisten mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, stir in chives. Serve warm.

Makes 4 (1 Cup Servings)
