Garlic Mashed Cauliflower

garlic mashed cauliflower

 

With Greg on his low-carb diet again I am scrambling to find recipes that the whole family will enjoy. He doesn’t care for cauliflower, and neither do the kids, but I decided I would try this recipe regardless. Had I known how well liked this dish was going to be I would have doubled the recipe.

I found the recipe at foodnetwork.com but decided to do roasted garlic instead of minced garlic, and I used Knorr Chicken Homestyle Concentrated Stock rather than chicken bouillon. The garlic mashed cauliflower was incredible. In fact, it was so good that we scraped the bowl clean!

If you need directions for roasting garlic you can find a recipe here.
