MASHED CAULIFLOWER FLORETS

INGREDIENTS:

1 head of cauliflower
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper corns (to taste)
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (optional)
1/2 stick melted butter (optional)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 tablespoon sour cream per serving (optional)

Remove florets from whole cauliflower using very little if any of the stem portion.  In a medium stock pot on high heat, add 1 1/2 cups water, cauliflower florets and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes until florets are very tender.  Place cauliflower florets into a colander and drain very well.  Using a potato masher, mash cauliflower florets until they are very fine.  Add salt, fresh ground black pepper, garlic powder, fresh grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and mix thoroughly. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with meat of your choice.

YIELD:  4 small servings

The above plated mashed cauliflower florets did not have the extra ingredients, only salt and black pepper.  They are a good healthy alternate to mashed potatoes and if you just have to load them up, go for it!
