Time for winter warmers - cauliflower

Cauliflower mash

With lots of cauli in the garden I went in search of some new recipe ideas.


This very simple recipe comes from Masterchef Australia and can be served in place of mashed potato. It is delicious, and with the added benefit of much less calories.

 Ingredients

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
one whole cauliflower cut into florets
2 cups milk

Method

1 Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat and cook shallot for 2 mins or until soft.
2 Add cauliflower and milk, and bring to the boil. Cover with a lid and simmer for 10 minutes or until tender.
3 Drain, reserving half a cup of milk. Process cauliflower and the reserved milk in a food processor until a puree (can be rough or smooth depending on preference).
4 Transfer to a bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Handy tip: If you have any left over. Freeze portions and add to vegetable soups.
