Fauxtatoes

[Guest guest]

My brother and SIL regularly eat a mashed potato substitute made with

cauliflower. They use fat-heavy dairy in theirs, but I wanted mine to be

a healthy vegetable side dish. I ended up making a spicy dish using

wasabi. Here's the recipe:

 

Wasabi Fauxtatoes

 

1 head cauliflower

2-4 tsps wasabi powder (to taste)

1/4 cup brown rice vinegar

salt to taste

 

Cut the cauliflower into small pieces. Steam until very soft. Drain,

then mash with a potato masher. In a small bowl, stir the wasabi powder

and vinegar together using a small whisk until all lumps are dissolved.

Stir into the mashed cauliflower. Taste and add salt if desired. Use as

a side dish when you want to add a bit of a kick to the meal.

 

Cheers,

That sounds interesting, especially if you are avoiding potato.

Personally, I love potato, but eat plenty of cauliflower as well :-)
