Funky Mashed Purple Cauliflower


Being on and off in my protein sparring diet, this is a delicious recipe to substitute mashed potato, if you are worried about the carb. The color is funky and my husband calls it space food but it taste superb mind you. If you are picky about food color, use white cauliflower instead. But this purple baby is a keeper for mua. How often do we get to put purple food in our mouth except for aubergines.

I ate this with grilled chicken breast.

Recipe:

1 Head Purple Cauliflower cut into small florets
1/2 chicken stock cube
4 cups of water
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
kosher salt to taste
freshly grounded black pepper to taste
1 piece of anchovy
1 teaspoon dried thyme

In a pot combine water with the chicken stock cube. Once boiling, add the purple cauliflower and boil until soften.

Once the Cauliflower has softened, drain and put in a blender. Add the cheese, buttermilk, anchovy, dried thyme, salt & Pepper and blend until smooth.

Pour the blended cauliflower back into the pot and cook in small fire to thicken it. Once thickened, Serve.
