Cauliflower Mash - 6g Carbs, 2g Fiber

{This is a very good "pretend potato" recipe! I prepared this
to go with a crock pot roast! Excellent substitute for potato!
Take care, Gloria}

A Creative Alternative to Mashed Potatoes
For many, mashed potatoes are a cherished comfort food. And
while white potatoes, mashed or otherwise, are not recommended
on the South Beach Diet, we've come up with a great alternative
that's just as delicious.
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Total Time: 30 min
Servings: 8

1 1/2 lb cauliflower, florets, fresh about 8 cups
3 cloves garlic
2 (14 oz cans) chicken broth, less sodium
Salt to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste
2 Tbsp chives, fresh chopped

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

2. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid and drain cauliflower.
Transfer cauliflower and garlic to the bowl of a food processor, and
process until smooth, pulsing in 1 or 2 tablespoons of the reserved
broth, if necessary, to moisten the mixture. Season with salt and
pepper to taste. Just before serving, stir in chives. Serve warm.
